 Workshop practice gives the basic working
knowledge required for the production of
various engineering products.

 It explains the construction, function, use and

application of different working tools,
equipment, machines as well as the technique
of manufacturing a product from its raw
material.

 Fitting is a manufacturing process which
refers to assembling of parts together and
removing metals to secure necessary fit.

 This operations include measuring & marking,

sawing, chipping, filling etc.

 Keep hands and tools wiped clean and free
of dirt, oil and grease. Dry tools are safer to
use than slippery tools.
 Do not carry sharp tools on pockets.
 Wear leather shoes and not sandals.
 Don’t wear loose clothes.
 Do no keep working tools at the edge of the
table.
 Position the work piece such that the cut to
be made is close to the vice. This practice
prevents springing, saw breakage and
personal injury.
 Apply force only on the forward (cutting) stroke
and relieve the force on the return stroke while
sawing and filing.
 Do not hold the work piece in hand while cutting.
 Use the file with a properly fitted tight handle.
 After filing, remove the burrs from the edges of the
work, to prevent cuts to the fingers.
 Do not use vice as an anvil.
 While sawing, keep the blade straight; otherwise it
will break
 Do not use a file without handle.
 Clean the vice after use.
