Bench Work and Fitting

Introduction:
The bench work and fitting play an important role in every engineering workshop to complete and finish
the job to the desired accuracy. Though today in industries most of the work is done on automatic
machines and finished to a fairly good degree of accuracy, still the require some operations to be done
by hand to finish them to the desired accuracy.
The work carried out by hand at the bench is called bench work, whereas fitting is the assembling of
parts together by filling, chipping, sawing, scraping, tapping etc, necessary after the machine operation.

Fitting Tools

1. Holding tools
2. Striking tools
3. Drilling tools
4. Cutting tools
5. Scraping tools
6. Measuring, making and testing tools.
We shall now discuss these tools in details
