Types of Tools in a Fitting Shop

Overview of Tools

• The discussion begins with an introduction to various tools used primarily in a fitting shop, including different types of files: flat file, semi-circular file, square file, round file, and triangle file.

• A distinction is made between a center punch and a scriber. The scriber is used for marking workpieces before cutting.

Measurement Tools

• Introduction to outside and inside calipers for measuring round objects. The process involves adjusting the screw and placing the caliper on the object to take measurements accurately.

• Emphasis on using these tools effectively for cylindrical objects by adjusting screws accordingly.

File Usage Techniques

• Explanation of how to use a flat file correctly: applying force only in the forward direction while moving it across metal surfaces ensures effective cutting.
