The tools and equipment’s used
We have used DURMA Mechanical shearing machine ,Vernier height
gauge over surface plate and Fold the sheets as per drawing and
marked places using folding machine after that go to Second floor
were Spot welding equipment is placed in the lab and then use the
spot welding machine
