Fitting

Introduction 

These days small, medium and heavy industries are using automatic machines. But fitting work also plays a significant role for completing and finishing a job to the desired accuracy.

Most of semi-finished works can be accomplished with fairly good degree of accuracy in a reasonable time through various kinds of quick machining operations. They still require some minor operations to be performed to finish the job by hand. The term ‘Bench work’ denotes

the production of an article by hand on the bench. Whereas ‘Fitting’ is the assembling of parts together and removing metals to secure the necessary fit, by keeping accurate dimension and may or may not be carried out at the bench. These two types of work require the use of a large number of hand tools and other devices or equipment that involve a number of operations for accomplishing the work to the desired shape and size. Some of the commonly used tools are discussed as under.
