FITTING SHOP

Lab Incharge: Dr. Alok

Lab Technician: Mr. Brijesh Kumar

Lab Overview:

A fitting shop is a basic workshop in mechanical and manufacturing training where students learn how to shape, assemble, and finish metal components by hand using various fitting tools. It focuses on manual skills needed to prepare precise mechanical joints and parts. Common fitting operations includes measuring and marking Cutting, filing, drilling, tapping, and assembling Understanding fits and tolerances Reading and interpreting simple mechanical drawings

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Explain the fundamental principles and procedures involved in basic fitting operations.

  2. Demonstrate the correct and safe use of hand tools such as hacksaws, files, chisels, scribers, punches, hammers, taps, dies, and vices.

  3. Perform common fitting tasks including filing (flat, square, angular), marking, drilling, reaming, tapping, dieing, cutting, and assembling components.

  4. Read and interpret simple engineering drawings for execution of fitting jobs.

This lab fosters a comprehensive learning environment, offering exposure to a wide range of fitting operations essential for modern manufacturing and engineering fields.
