Exploring Fitter Tools and Techniques

What are the main types of fitter tools used in workshops?

• Cleaning tools

• Gardening tools

• Office supplies

• Hand tools, power tools, measuring tools, and cutting tools.

Describe the purpose of a fitter's hammer.

• To polish and finish wooden surfaces.

• To measure the temperature of metal during forging.

• To cut through thick metal sheets.

• The purpose of a fitter's hammer is to shape and manipulate metal components in metalworking.

What is the difference between a file and a rasp in fitting?

• A file is used for cutting, while a rasp is used for polishing.

• A file is coarser and used for aggressive material removal, while a rasp is finer and used for smoothing.

• A file is a type of rasp that is used for rough shaping, while a rasp is used for finishing touches.

• A file is finer and used for smoothing, while a rasp is coarser and used for aggressive material removal.

Explain the technique of soldering in fitting applications.

• Soldering is a technique for painting metal surfaces for aesthetic purposes.

• Soldering is a method of cutting metal pieces to size.

• Soldering is a technique used to join metal components by melting solder, which flows into the joint and solidifies to create a strong connection.

• Soldering involves using a high-temperature flame to melt metal parts together.

What is the role of a vice in fitting work?

• To measure the dimensions of the workpiece accurately.

• To provide a decorative element to the workspace.

• To apply finishing touches to the workpiece after fitting.

• The role of a vice in fitting work is to securely hold the workpiece in place.

List three common fitting techniques used in metalworking.

• Welding, brazing, soldering

• Casting

• Milling

• Drilling

How do you properly maintain a set of fitter tools?

• Regularly clean, store properly, check for damage, lubricate, and calibrate.

• Use tools only when needed

• Store tools in a damp environment

• Sharpen tools with sandpaper

What is the importance of cleaning fitter tools after use?

• Cleaning fitter tools is unnecessary after every use.

• Cleaning tools is only important for aesthetic reasons.

• Using dirty tools can improve their performance.

• Cleaning fitter tools prevents damage, ensures safety, and extends their lifespan.

Describe the function of a caliper in fitting.

• The function of a caliper in fitting is to provide precise measurements of dimensions for accurate part fitting.

• To apply force for bending metal components.

• To measure the weight of parts during fitting.

• To cut materials into specific shapes.

What measuring instruments are essential for accurate fitting?

• Measuring tape, digital scale, stopwatch, ruler

• Ruler, protractor, compass, thermometer

• Tape measure, calipers, square, level

• Caliper, laser distance meter, compass, protractor
