CHAPTER-1
CARPENTRY
INTRODUCTION:
Carpentry may be defined as the process of making wooden articles and components such as
roots, floors, partitions, doors and windows. Carpentry involves cutting, shaping and fastening
wood and other materials together to produce a finished product. It deals with the building work,
furniture, either, cabinet, making , etc, Joinery. Preparation of joints is one of the important
operations in wood work. Joinery denotes connecting the wooden parts using different points such
as lap joints, mortise and T- joints, bridle joints, etc.
In carpentry workshop, wooden pieces of commercial sizes are given specific shape and size, as
per the requirements. The processes involved in carpentry shop are making layout, marking,
sowing, planning, chiseling joint making etc.
The raw material and tools used in carpentry shop are various are wood, nut, screw, nut and bolt
and glue etc. The tools are classified as marking, cutting, planning, chiseling, striking etc.
VARIOUS TYPES OF TIMBER AND PRACTICE BOARDS
Types of WoodCommon wood are generally classified according to their degree of hardness of
softness.
1. Hardwood- Hard wood has closed structure, heavy in weight, dark in color and is difficult
to work on it, annual rings are not distinct and good tensile strength.
2. Soft Wood- Hard wood has less weight, less durable and is easy to work out. Soft wood
catches fire soon as compared to hardwood, annual rings are quite distinct.
3. Plywood: It consists of more than three layers. Middle layer is called care which is thick and
not of good quality. The top and bottom are called as face plys which is glued on the care attop and bottom. The grains of adjacent layers are kept perpendicular to each other which prevents
plywood form war page.
Types of PlyPly Board, Commercial Board, Chip Board, Soft Board.
Advantage of Ply wood
1. Lighter in weight and easy to work.
2. Can be used for decorating the furniture as well as houses.
3. It is also available in bigger sizes.
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016

4. Possesses bottom strength then solid wood of same thickness.
CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD TIMBER
Timber is the name given to the wood obtained from well grown trees. The trees are cut, sawn
into various sizes to suit building purposes.
The word, grain , as applied to wood, refers to the appearance or pattern of the wood on the cut
surfaces. The grain of the wood is a fibrous structure and to make it string, the timber must be so
cut, that the grains run parallel to the length.
The good timber must possess the following characteristics
a. It should have minimum moisture content, i.e., the timber should be well seasoned.
b. The grains of wood should be straight and long.
c. It must retain its straightness after seasoning.
d. It should produce near metallic sound on hammering.
e. It should be free from knots or cracks.
f. It should be of uniform color, throughout the part of the wood.
g. It should respond well to the finishing and polishing operations.
h. During driving the nails and screw, it should not split easily.
MARKET SIZES OF TIMBER:
Timber is sold in the market in various standard shapes and sizes. The following are the common
shapes and sizes:
1. LogThe trunk of the tree, which is free from branches.
2. BalkThe log, sawn to have roughly square cross-section.
3. PostA timber piece, round or square(sawn) in cross section , having its diameter or side,
varying from 175 to 300 mm.
4. PlankA sawn timber piece, with more than 275 mm in width, 50 to 150 mm in thickness
and 2.5 to 6.5 meters in length.
5. BoardA sawn timber piece, below 50 mm thickness and more than 125 mm in width.
6. BattenA sawn timber piece, below 175 mm in width and 30 to 50 mm in thickness.
7. Scantlings or reaperssawn timber pieces of assorted and non- standard sizes, which do
not confirm to the above shapes and sizes.
DEFECTS IN TIMBER
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
8/159
Following are the common defects occurring in the wood and it can be divided into following
three categories.
1. Natural Defects are the defects which are caused in the tree due to abnormality in the grouts.
2. Defects are also caused during seasoning operation.
3. Some defects are also there due to termites or insects.
Natural defectsWood being a product of nature is subjected of natural defects, some of them
are explained below:
1. Shakes: Shakes are caused due to the separation of wood grains, some times, burning of
tissues and shrinkage of interior parts takes place which causes radial or circular rupture in
tissues and creates cavities, which are called shakes are of three types
(i) Heart and star shakes: These defects in the heart wood in other older tree, especially.
Hemlock heart shakes can be evidenced by a small point cavity at the center of the wood as
shown in fig.
(ii) Wind shakes or Cup shaker: The separation of annual rings is called wind shake or cup
shake. These defects are common in lines.
(iii) Radial Shakes: Radial shakes are the radial splits extending from bark towards the center.
These cracks over the cross section of the log are winder at the bark and narrow down near the
center as shown in fig.
2. Knots: Knot represent irregular in the body of a tree which interrupt the smooth course of the
grand. The fibers of the tree are turned from their normal shaped and grow around the knot at
that point of a tree where a link is being formed. Knots are two types:
(i) Dead knots: When the separation of benches or hurbs takes place before the tree is cut,
the knot thus formed called leaf knot. This knot is not held firmly and wood having leaf knot
is not recommended for engineering purposes.
(ii) Live knots: If the separation occurs after falling of a tree the knot thus formed is called
live knot. A wood having live knot can be used for engineering purposes.
SEASONING OF WOOD
The process of removing moisture from freshly cut down trees is known as seasoning. In these
trees the percentage of moisture is very high. The wood uses of engineering purposes containing
high percentage of moisture may cause many types of problems, such as shrinkage, warpage
distortion etc. To a point this, seasoning is done. After seasoning the percentage of moisture is
reduced to 10- 20%.
Types of Seasoning
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
9/159
(i) Air Seasoning: In this method, the timber balks are stacked in a sheet such that they are not
directly exposed to sun and rain but a free circulation of air takes place through them. The timber
balks are allowed to remain in that condition for a long times. The balks be periodically turned
upside which accelerates the rate of drying. Due to the circulation of free air through the stack,
the excess moisture evaporates and the wood gets seasoned. This is the commonly used method
which takes much time but proper seasoning can be easily done with a little care.
(ii) Water Seasoning: In this method, timber balks are immersed in flowing water for a fortnight.
The flowing stream of water removes the sap. The timber is then taken out and air seasoning is
done as usual. This method takes less time but the strength of wood reduced.
(iii) Artificial or Kiln Seasoning: This is a quick process of seasoning of this method,
the timber balks are stacked and over large trollies which are then driven into hot chambers or
kilus. Hot air or dry stem is pushed into the chamber under controlled temperature conditions.
The moisture content is reduced because the evaporation takes place and ultimately the timber
gets seasoned.
TOOLS
MARKING AND MEASURING TOOLS
Accurate marking and measurement is very essential in carpentry work, to produce parts to
exact size. To transfer dimensions onto the work; the following are the marking and measuring
tools that are required in a carpentry shop.
1. Steel rule and Steel tape
Steel rule shown in Figure 1.1a is a simple measuring instrument consisting of a long, thin metal
strip with a marked scale of unit divisions. It is an important tool for linear measurement.
Steel tapeshown in figure 1.1b is used for large measurements, such as marking on boards and
checking the overall dimensions of the work.
Figure 1.1a: Steel rule
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
10/159
Figure 1.1b:Steel tape
2. Marking gauge
Marking gauge shown in figure1.2.a is a tool used to mark lines parallel to the edge of a wooden
piece. It consists of a square wooden stem with a sliding wooden stock (head) on it. On the stem
is fitted a marking pin, made of steel. The stock is set at any desired distance from the marking
point and fixed in position by a screw. It must be ensured that the marking pin projects through
the stem, about 3 mm and the end are sharp enough to make a very fine line.
A mortise gauge shown in Figure 1.2.b consists of two pins. In this, it is possible to adjust the
distance between the pins, to draw two parallel lines on the stock.
a. Marking gauge b. Mortise gauge
Figure 1.2: Marking gauges
3 Trysquare
Try square shown in figure 1.3 is used for marking and testing the squareness and straightness of
planed surfaces. It consists of a steel blade, fitted in a cast iron stock. It is also used for checking
the planed surfaces for flatness. Its size varies from 150 to 300 mm, according to the length of the
blade. It is less accurate when compared to the trysquare used in the fitting shop.

Figure 1.3: Try square
4. Compass and divider
Compass and divider shown in figure 1.4, are used for marking arcs and circles on the planedsurfaces of the wood.
5. Scriber or marking knife
Scriber as shown in figure1.5a is used for marking on timber. It is made of steel having one end
pointed and the other end formed into a sharp cutting edge.
6. Bevel
Bevel as shown in figure 1.5b is used for layingout and checking angles. The blade of the bevel
is adjustable and may be held in place by a thumb screw. After it is set to the desired angle, it can
be used in much the same way as a trysquare. A good way to set it to the required angle is to
mark the angle on a surface and then adjust the blade to fit the angle.

Figure 1.8:bar cramp
PLANING TOOLS
Planing is the operation used to produce flat surfaces on wood. A plane is a hand tool used forthis purpose. The cutting blade used in a plane is very similar to a chisel. The blade of a plane is
fitted in a wooden or metallic block, at an angle.
1. Jack plane
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
14/159
Jack Plane as shown in figure 1.9 a & b is the most commonly used general purpose plane. It is
about 35 cm long. The cutting iron (blade) should have a cutting edge of slight curvature. It is
used for quick removal of material on rough work and is also used in oblique planning.
2. Smoothing plane
Smoothing Plane as shown in figure 1.9c is used for finishing work and hence, the blade should
have a straight cutting edge. It is about 20 to 25 cm long. Being short, it can follow even the slight
depressions in the stock, better than the jack plane. It is used after using the jack plane.
3. Rebate plane
Rebate Plane as shown in figure 1.9d is used for making a rebate. A rebate is a recess along the
edge of a piece of wood, which is generally used for positioning glass in frames and doors.
4. Plough plane
Plough Plane as shown in figure 1.9e is used to cut grooves, which are used to fix panels in a
door. Figure .9 shows the various types of planes mentioned above.

CUTTING TOOLS
1. Saws
A saw is used to cut wood into pieces. There are different types of saws, designed to suitdifferent purposes. A saw is specified by the length of its toothed edge.
i) Crosscut or hand saw
Cross cut saw as shown in figure1.10 is used to cut across the grains of the stock. The teeth are so
set that the saw kerf will be wider than the blade thickness. This allows the blade to move freely
in the cut, without sticking.
ii) Rip saw
Rip saw as shown in figure 1.10 is used for cutting the stock along the grains. The cutting edge of
this saw makes a steeper angle, i.e., about 60 whereas that of crosscut saw makes an angle of 45
with the surface of the stock.
iii) Tenon saw
Tenon saw as shown in figure 1.11 is used for cutting the stock either along or across the grains.
It is used for cutting tenons and in fine cabinet work. However, it is used for small and thin cuts.
The blade of this saw is very thin and so it is stiffened with a thick back steel strip. Hence, this is
sometimes called as backsaw. In this, the teeth are shaped like those of crosscut saw.
iv) Compass saw
Compass saw as shown in figure 1.12 has a narrow, longer and stronger tapering blade, which is
used for heavy works . It is mostly used in radius cutting. The blade of this saw is fitted with an
open type wooden handle.

2. Chisels
Chisels are used for cutting and shaping wood accurately. Wood chisels are made in various
blade widths, ranging from 3 to 50 mm. They are also made in different blade lengths. Most of
the wood chisels are made into tang type, having a steel shank which fits inside the handle (Figure
1.13). These are made of forged steel or tool steel blades.
Figure 1.13: Parts of chisel
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
17/159
i) Firmer chisel
The word 'firmer' means 'stronger' and hence firmer chisel is stronger than other chisels. It is a
general purpose chisel and is used either by hand pressure or by a mallet. The blade of a firmer
chisel is flat, as shown in Figure 1.14 a.
ii) Dovetail chisel
It has a blade with a beveled back, as shown in Figure, due to which it can enter sharp comers
for finishing, as in dovetail joints, as shown in figure 1.14b
iii) Mortise chisel
Mortise chisel as shown in figure 1.14c is used for cutting mortises and chipping inside holes, etc.
The crosssection of the mortise chisel is proportioned to withstand heavy blows during
mortising. Further, the crosssection is made stronger near the shank.

DRILLING AND BORING TOOLS
1. Carpenters brace
Carpenters brace as shown in figure 1.15a is used for rotating auger bits, twist drills, etc., to
produce holes in wood. In some designs, braces are made with ratchet device. With this, holes
may be made in a corner where complete revolution of the handle cannot be made. The size of a
brace is determined by its sweep.
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
18/159
2. Auger bit
Auger bit as shown in figure 1.15b is the most common tool used for making holes in wood.
During drilling, the lead screw of the bit guides into the wood, necessitating only moderate
pressure on the brace. The helical flutes on the surface carry the chips to the outer surface.
3. Hand drill
Carpenter's brace is used to make relatively large size holes; whereas hand drill as shown in
figure 1.15c is used for drilling small holes. A straight shank drill is used with this tool. It is
small, light in weight and may be conveniently used than the brace. The drill bit is clamped in the
chuck at its end and is rotated by a handle attached to gear and pinion arrangement.
4. Gimlet
Gimlet as shown in figure 1.15d has cutting edges like a twist drill. It is used for drilling large
diameter holes with the hand pressure.

Figure 1.15: Drilling tools
MISCELLANEOUS TOOLS
1. MalletMallet as shown in figure 1.16a is used to drive the chisel, when considerable force is to be
applied, which may be the case in making deep rough cuts. Steel hammer should not be used for
the purpose, as it may damage the chisel handle. Further, for better control, it is better to apply a
series of light taps with the mallet rather than a heavy single blow.
2. Pincer
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
19/159
It is made of two forged steel arms with a hinged joint and is used for pullingout small nails
from wood. The inner faces of the pincer (figure 1.16b) jaws are beveled and the outer faces are
plain. The end of one arm has a ball and the other has a claw. The beveled jaws and the claw are
used for pulling out small nails, pins and screws from the wood.
3. Claw hammer
It has a striking flat face at one end and the claw at the other, as shown in figure1.16c. The face is
used to drive nails into wood and for other striking purposes and the claw for extracting relatively
large nails out of wood. It is made of cast steel and weighs from 0.25 kg to 0.75 kg.
4. Screw driver
It is used for driving screws into wood or unscrewing them. The screw driver of a carpenter is
different from the other common types, as shown in figure1.16f The length of a screw driver is
determined by the length of the blade. As the length of the bladeincreases, the width and thickness
of the tip also increase.
5. Wood rasp file
It is a finishing tool used to make the wood surface smooth, remove sharp edges, finish fillets
and other interior surfaces as shown in figure1.16d. Sharp cutting teeth are provided on its surface
for the purpose. This file is exclusively used in wood work.
6. Bradawl
It is a hand operated tool, used to bore small holes for starting a screw or large nail.as shown in
figure 1.16e
a.Mallet

For marking with the help of a marking gauge, it must be held firmly with fingers around the head
and with the thumb behind the marking point and the gauge must be pushed forward against the
surface. While pushing, the gauge must be kept slightly forward so that , the point gets dragged at
a slight angle.
If the work is to be finished with a plane, an allowance must be provided for this, while marking
However, it must be borne in mind that removing excess material with a plane is a tedious job and
hence should be kept to a minimum.
Laying-out an Angle
The following are the steps involved in laying-out an angle on a wooden surface.
1. Set the bevel to the required angle.
2. Hold the handle firmly against the face or edge of the board.
3. Mark along the edge of the blade with a pencil or knife.
Plane Adjustment
A plane will not produce proper work surface unless the blade is sharp and properly adjusted.
Out of the two adjustments that are in built in the design of the plane, one is to regulate the depth
of cut and the other is to straighten the blade so that , it produces a flat surface.
The plane adjustment may be checked by feeling the corners of the blade with the first two
fingers. By this, it may be easily detected and adjusted if one corner projects through the throat
farther than the other. For proper work, turn the adjustment nut until a fine shaving is cut when
the plane is moved over the surface.
Method of using the plane.
The following may be noted while using the plane:
1. Hold the handle of the plane with the right hand and the knob with the left band.
2. Stand to the left side of the job, feet apart and with the left foot slightly ahead.
3. While pushing the plane, gradually shift weight to the left foot.
4. While planning , keep the fore arm straight in-line behind the plane
NOTE: i) Always plane along the grains. Planning against the grains will result in rough work.
ii) When not in use, lay the plane on its side. This prevents the cutting edge becoming dull
by contact with the bench top.
Planing a Surface
Planing is the first thing to be done to build any project in carpentry. The following are the steps
involved in planning a surface:
1. Beginning at one edge of the stock, plane with full length strokes to the other edge.
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
22/159
2. Use the edge of a steel rule to test the surface , by placing the edge in various positions on
the surface and see the underneath to locate high and low places. For this , the order of
checking is as follows:
i) First place the straight edge cross-wise on the stock and move it slowly from one
end to the other.

Figure 1.17: Common wood joints
Lap joints
In lap joints, an equal amount of wood is removed from each piece, as shown in figure 1.17. Lap
joints are easy to layout, using a trysquare and a marking gauge. The layout may also be made by
lapping the pieces to be joined and along the edge of one piece, marking lines on the other.
Here too, while laying-out the joint, Follow the procedure suggested for sawing and removing the
waste stock. If the joint is found to be too tight, it is better to reduce the width of the mating piece,
instead of trimming the shoulder of the joint. This type of joint is used for small boxes to large
pieces of furniture.
SAFE PRACTICE
General
1. Tools that are not being used should always be kept at their proper places.
2. Make sure that your hands are not in front of sharp edged tools while you are using them.
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
23/159
3. Use only sharp tools. A dull tool requires excessive pressure, causing the tool to slip.
4. Wooden pieces with nails, should never be allowed to remain on the floor.
Saws
Be careful when you are using your thumb as a guide in crosscutting and ripping.
Chisels
1. Test the sharpness of the cutting edge of chisel on wood or paper, but not on your hand.
2. Never chisel towards any part of the body.
Screw driver.
1. Select the longest screw driver that is appropriate for the job intended. The longer the tool
, the greater the effort applied.
2. The tip of the screw driver must fit the slot without wobbling. The width of the tip should
be equal to the length of the screw slot.
3. Keep the screw driver properly pointed to prevent injury to hands.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF TOOLS
Chisels
1. Do not use chisels where nails are present.
2. Do not use chisel as a screw driver.
Saws
1. Do not use a saw with a loose handle.
2. Always use triangular file for sharpening the teeth.
3. Apply grease when not in use

FITTING SHOP
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Machine tools are capable of producing work at a faster rate, but, there are
occasions when components are processed at the bench. Sometimes, it becomes
necessary to replace or repair component which must be fit accurately with another
component on reassembly. This involves a certain amount of hand fitting. The assembly of
machine tools, jigs, gauges, etc, involves certain amount of bench work. The accuracy of
work done depends upon the experience and skill of the fitter.fitting deals which the assembly
of mating parts, through removal of metal, to obtain the required fit.
Both the bench work and fitting requires the use of number of simple hand tools
and considerable manual efforts. The operations in the above works consist of filing,
chipping, scraping, sawing drilling, and tapping.
1.2 HOLDING TOOLS
1.2.1 Bench vice
The bench vice is a work holding device. It is the most commonly used vice in a fitting
shop. The bench vice is shown in Figure 1.1.
Figure 1.1: Bench
Vice
It is fixed to the bench with bolts and nuts. The vice body consists of two main parts,
fixed jaw and movable jaw. When the vice handle is turned in a clockwise direction, the
sliding jaw forces the work against the fixed jaw. Jaw plates are made of hardened steel.
Serrations on the jaws ensure a good grip. Jaw caps made of soft material are used to protect
finished surfaces, gripped in the vice. The size of the vice is specified by the length of thejaws.
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
37/159
The vice body is made of cast Iron which is strong in compression, weak in tension and sofractures under shocks and therefore should never be hammered.
1.2.2 Vblock
Vblock is rectangular or square block with a Vgroove on one or both sides opposite
to each other. The angle of the Vis usually 900. Vblock with a clamp is used to hold cylindrical
work securely, during layout of measurement, for measuring operations or for drilling forthis the bar is faced longitudinally in the VGroove and the screw of Vclamp is tightened.
This grip the rod is firm with its axis parallel to the axis of the vgroove.
1.2.3 CClamp
This is used to hold work against an angle plate or vblock or any other surface, when
gripping is required. ts fixed jaw is shaped like English alphabet Cand the movable jaw is round
in shape and directly fitted to the threaded screw at the end .The working principle of this
clamp is the same as that of the bench vice.

1.3MARKING&MEASURINGTOOlS
1.3.1 Surface P late
The surface plate is machined to fine limits and is used for testing the flatness of
the work piece. It is also used for marking out small box and is more precious than the marking
table. The degree of the finished depends upon whether it is designed for bench work in a fitting
shop or for using in an inspection room; the surface plate is made of Cast Iron, hardened Steel
or Granite stone. It is specified by length, width, height and grade. Handles are provided on two
opposite sides, to carry it while shifting from one place to another.

Trysquare
It is measuring and marking tool for 90o
angle .In practice, it is used for checking thesquareness of many types of small works when extreme accuracy is not required .Theblade of the Try square is made of hardened steel and the stock of cast Iron or steel. Thesize of the Try square is specified by the length of the blade.
Figure 1.6: Try square
1.3.3
Scriber
A Scriber is a slender steel tool, used to scribe or mark lines on metal work pieces. It is
made of hardened and tempered High Carbon Steel. The Tip of the scriber is generally ground at
12oto 15o. It is generally available in lengths, ranging from 125mm to 250mm .It has two
pointed ends the bent end is used for marking lines where the straight end cannot reach.
Figure 1.7: Scriber
1.3.4 Odd leg Caliper
This is also called Jenny Caliper or Hermaphrodite. This is used for marking parallel
liners from a finished edge and also for locating the center of round bars; it has one leg
pointed like a divider and the other leg bent like a caliper. It is specified by the length of the leg
up to the hinge point.
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
39/159
1.3.5 Divider
It is basically similar to the calipers except that its legs are kept straight and
pointed at the measuring edge. This is used for marking circles, arcs laying out perpendicular
lines, by setting lines. It is made of case hardened mild steel or hardened and tempered low
carbon steel. Its size is specified by the length of the leg.
1.3.6 Trammel
Figure 1.8: Odd leg caliper and spring divider
Trammel is used for drawing large circles or arcs.
1.3.7 Punches
These are used for making indentations on the scribed lines, to make them visible
clearly. These are made of high carbon steel. A punch is specified by its length and diameter (say
as 15012.5mm). It consists of a cylindrical knurled body, which is plain for some length at the
top of it. At the other end, it is ground to a point. The tapered point of the punch is hardened
over a length of 20 to 30mm.
Dot punch is used to lightly indent along the layout lines, to locate center of holes and toprovide a small center mark for divider point, etc. for this purpose, the punch is ground to aconical point having 60 included angle.
Center punch is similar to the dot punch, except that it is ground to a conical point having 90
included angle. It is used to mark the location of the holes to be drilled.

Punches
1.3.8 Calipers
They are indirect measuring tools used to measure or transfer linear dimensions. These
are used with the help of a steel Rule to check inside and outside measurements. These
are made of Case hardened mild steel or hardened and tempered low carbon steel. While
using, but the legs of the caliper are set against the surface of the work, whether inside or
outside and the distance between the legs is measured with the help of a scale and the same can
be transferred to another desired place. These are specified by the length of the leg. In the caseof outside caliper, the legs are bent inwards and in the case of inside caliper, the legs bent
outwards.
Figure
1.10:Calipers
1.3.9 Vernier Calipers
These are used for measuring outside as well as inside dimensions accurately. It may
also be used as a depth gauge. It has two jaws. One jaw is formed at one end of its main scale
and the otherjaw is made part of a vernier scale.

1.3.10 Vernier Height Gauge
The Vernier Height gauge clamped with a scriber. It is used for Lay out work and offset
scriber is used when it is required to take measurement from the surface, on which the
gauge is standing. The accuracy and working principle of this gauge are the same as those of
the vernier calipers. Its size is specified by the maximum height that can be measured by it. It
is made of NickelChromium Steel.
Figure 1.12: Vernier Height gauge
1.4 CUTTING TOOLS
1.4.1 Hack Saw
The Hack Saw is used for cutting metal by hand. It consists of a frame, which holds a thin
blade, firmly in position. Hacksaw blade is specified by the number of teeth for centimeter.
Hacksaw blades have a number of teeth ranging from 5 to 15 per centimeter (cm). Blades
having lesser number of teeth per cm are used for cutting soft materials like aluminum, brass
and bronze. Blades having larger number of teeth per centimeter are used for cutting hard
materials like steel and cast Iron.
Hacksaw blades are classified as (i) All hard and (ii) flexible type. The all hard blades aremade of H.S.S, hardened and tempered throughout to retain their cutting edges longer.
These are used to cut hard metals. These blades are hard and brittle and can break easily by
twisting and forcing them into the work while sawing. Flexible blades are made of H.S.S or low
alloy steel but only the teeth are hardened and the rest of the blade is soft and flexible.
These are suitable for use by unskilled or semiskilled persons.
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
42/159
Figure 1.13: Hacksaw frame with
blade
The teeth of the hacksaw blade are staggered, as shown in figure and known as a set of
teeth. These make slots wider than the blade thickness, preventing the blade fromjamming.
Figure 1.14: Set of
teeth
1.4.2 Chisels
Chisels are used for removing surplus metal or for cutting thin sheets. These tools
are made from 0.9% to 1.0% carbon steel of octagonal or hexagonal section. Chisels are
annealed, hardened and tempered to produce a tough shank and hard cutting edge. Annealing
relieves the internal stresses in a metal. The cutting angle of the chisel for general purpose is
about 60.

1.4.3 Twist Drill
Twist drills are used for making holes. These are made of High speed steel. Both
straight and taper shank twist drills are used. The parallel shank twist drill can be held in an
ordinary self centering drill check. The tapper shank twist drill fits into a corresponding
tapered bore provided in the drilling machine spindle.
Figure 1.16: Twistdrills
1.4.4 Taps and Tap wrenches
A tap is a hardened and steel tool, used for cutting internal thread in a drill hole. Hand Taps are
usually supplied in sets of three in each diameter and thread size. Each set consists of a
tapper tap, intermediate tap and plug or bottoming tap. Taps are made of high carbon steel or
highspeedsteel.

1.4.5 Dies and dieholders
Dies are the cutting tools used for making external thread. Dies are made either solid
or split type. They are fixed in a die stock for holding and adjusting the die gap. They are made
of Steel or High Carbon Steel.
Figure 1.18: Dies and die
holder
1.4.6 Bench Drilling Machine
Holes are drilled for fastening parts with rivets, bolts or for producing internal
thread. Bench drilling machine is the most versatile machine used in a fitting shop for the
purpose. Twist drills, made of tool steel or high speed steel are used with the drilling machine
for drilling holes.
Following are the stages in drilling work
1. Select the correct size drills, put it into the check and lock it firmly
2. Adjust the speed of the machine to suit the work by changing the belt on the pulleys. Use
high speed for small drills and soft materials and low speed for large diameter drills and hard
materials.
3. Layout of the location of the pole and mark it with a center punch.
4. Hold the work firmly in the vice on the machine table and clamp it directly on to the machine
table.
5. Put on the power, locate the punch mark and apply slight pressure with the Feed Hand.
6. Once Drilling is commenced at the correct location, apply enough pressure and continue
drilling.When drilling steel apply cutting oil at the drilling point.
7. Release the pressure slightly, when the drill point pierces the lower surface of the
metal. This prevents the drill catching and damaging the work or drill.
8. On completion of drilling retrace the drill out of the work and putoffthe power supply.

1.5 FINISHING TOOLS
1.5.1 Reamers
Reaming is an operation of sizing and finishing a drilled hole, with the help of a
cutting tool called reamer having a number of cutting edges. For this, a hole is first drilled,
the size of which is slightly smaller than the finished size and then a hand reamer or
machine reamer is used for finishing the hole to the correct size.
zHand Reamer is made of High Carbon Steel and has lefthand spiral flutes so that, it is
prevented from screwing into the whole during operation. The Shank end of the reamer is
made straight so that it can be held in a tap wrench. It is operated by hand, with a tap wrench
fitted on the square end of the reamer and with the work piece held in the vice. The body ofthe reamer is given a slight tapper at its working end, for its easy entry into the whole during
operation, it is rotated only in clock wise direction and also while removing it from the whole.

1.5.2 Files
Filing is one of the methods of removing small amounts of material from the surface of
a metal part. A file is hardened steel too, having small parallel rows of cutting edges or teeth on
its surfaces.
On the faces, the teeth are usually diagonal to the edge. One end of the file is shaped
to fit into a wooden handle. The figure shows various parts of a hand file. The hand file isparallel in width and tapering slightly in thickness, towards the tip. It is provided with double
cut teeth. On the faces, single cut on one edge and no teeth on the other edge, which is known
as a safe edge.
Figure 1.21: Parts of a hand
file
Files are classified according to their shape, cutting teeth and pitch or grade of the
teeth. The figure shows the various types of files based on their shape.

1.6.6 Screw driver
A screw driver is designed to turn screws. The blade is made of steel and is available in
different lengths and diameters. The grinding of the tip to the correct shape is very
important.
A star screw driver is specially designed to fit the head of star screws. The end of the blade
is fluted instead of flattened. The screw driver is specified by the length of the metal part from
handle to the tip.
Types of screw driver
1.6.7Spanners
A spanner or wrench is a tool for turning nuts and bolts. It is usually made of forged
steel. There are many kinds of spanners. They are named according to the application. The size
of the spanner

denotes the size of the bolt on which it can work.
1.7 SAFE PRACTICE
Figure 1.28: Spanners
The following are some of the safe and correct work practices in bench work and fitting
shop, with respect to the tools used
1. Keep hands and tools wiped clean and free of dirt, oil and grease. Dry tools are safer touse than slippery tools.
2. Do not carry sharp tools on pockets.
3. Wear leather shoes and not sandals.
4. Dontwear loose clothes.
5. Do no keep working tools at the edge of the table.
6. 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.
7. Apply force only on the forward (cutting) stroke and relieve the force on the return
stroke while sawing and filing.
8. Do not hold the work piece in hand while cutting.
9. Use the file with a properly fitted tight handle.
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016

HOUSE WIRING
DIFFERENT SYSTEMS OF WIRING:
The various systems of domestic and industrial wiring are:
(1) Cleat wiring (2) casing capping (3) CTS wiring
(4) Metal sheeted Wiring (5) conduit Wiring
Before deciding the type of wiring to be used at a particular site, the following
points should be considered:
a. Durability: the wire selected should be able the to withstand for a long
period against weather changes.
b. Safety: safety is the foremost point to be kept in view while making
Decision of the systems of wiring. It may not prove to be risky. At places
which are not free from fire danger conduit wiring is preferred.
c. Cost: the cost of wiring installation is one of the main points to be
considered. The system chosen should be economical and within the
means of the individual.
d. Appearance: wiring appearance has its own effect. Architectural
Beauty should be kept in view.
1) CLENT WIRING: In this systems V.I.R (Vulcanized India rubber) wire
used in porcelain cleats. The cleats are of three types, having one, two or
three grooves so as to receive one two or three wires. They are made in
two halves. One is grooved to receive the wire the other is put over it and
the whole is fixed on the wall. The system of installation is cheap and its
most suitable for temporary wiring. It can be easily installed and also
removed quickly when not require.
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
61/159
2) WOOD CASING CAPPING: The system of wiring recommended to be made of
well seasoned teak wood or any other suitable hard wood. It should be free from
knots shakes or any other defect. The casing has usually two grooves to carry
wires. At the top it is covered by a strip known as the capping. The width of the
capping to show position of wires so that the screws may not be driven through
wrong position. Wood gutties are fixed on the wall separated by a distance of not
more than one meter. Round porcelain disc insulator are used between the wood
gutties and casting. The fixing is done with countersunk scores into the gutties.
The capping is screwed over 15cm for all sized up to 6cm. width casings.
3) CTS WIRING: CTS cable tyre sheathed wires are available in single
twin or three cores with a circulars or oval shape. The cable is free the
effects of moisture, acids alkalies and climatic variations. It can be
exposed to sun. The cable can be buried under / sasonary work but is
usually laid over wood battens. The system is even suitable for places
where chemical fumes are present.
4) METAL SHEATHED WIRING: The wire consist of rubber insulated
conductor over which as heath of lead aluminum alloy is provided
externally. This covering provides protection to the cable from
mechanical injury. In residential buildings they are run over wooden
battens. The sheathed should be earthed otherwise electrolytic action may
take place to the leakage of current and there by deteriorate the covering
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
62/159
moreover earthling prevents the metal covering from becoming alive.
These cables are not suitable for places where chemical corrosion may
rise. They effect on the open ends of cable are give; these cable are more
costly than CTS ones.
The following points should be noted when installing metal sheathed wiring.
1. Metal clips and Saddles used to support the cable should be placed
40cm apart.
2. The support used should not be of such a material as to cause
chemical action with the sheaths.
3. The icas sheath should be run over a damp place.
4. The cable should be run over the damp place.
5. The cable should be run in conduits when crossing the floor or wall.
6.Sharp bends should be avoided.
7. Conduit wiring: workshop and public building this is the best and most
Desirable system of wiring it provides mechanical protection and
safety against fire. They can be supported over the wall by saddles and
pipe hooks.

1.EARTHING: In an electric circuit, power passes from positive to the
negative terminal. The Earth is the biggest negative terminal. The tendency
for current is to pass to the earth if a suitable contact/conductor is
available. In an electric circuit ,if there is any gap due to improper
connection, (the air being a poor conductor), current will not flow in
the circuit. Bur of such a circuit having positive potential is touched by a
human being, current will pass through the body into the earth making him
a part of the circuit. Ear thing 2x2x4 for one normal houseHuman body
gets electric shock proportional to voltage. Higher the voltage, higher the
damage. In many countries like US, Canada etc the domestic voltage is only
110V against the 220 V being used in India. So the danger of shock is prevented inthose countries whereas we have the pro0blem, due to 220 V supply voltage. Ear
thing is a safety device to run an electric conductor in parallel to the circuit
connecting body of the equipment and a third point to the earth. By this in case of
any open circuit accidentally, the current will travel through the earth wire to
earth causing no damage t the person becoming a part of the circuit. It is legally
necessary for all machines and other equipment used in factories.
DEMONSTRATION: Ear thing system/3-pin plug/earth connection
2.FUSE :Fuse is a device to protect electrical equipment against
overloading of its components due to short circuits etc. Every electrical
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
72/159
equipment is designed to with stand certain current rating. If the current
supplied is higher, it will damage the equipment. To prevent such damage
a thin wire of low melting point-alloy of optimum current carrying
capacity is provided near the main switch in the circuit. If due to any short
circuit or voltage fluctuation, the current in the circuit exceeds the limit, the
fuse-wire gets melted (due to low melting point-alloy with which it is made
and the thin dia)breaking the circuit. This saves the electric equipment from
getting spoiled by continuous exposure to such high current.
Precautions: Do not use thick-wire/copper wire for fuse as it allows excess current
into the circuit and causes heavy damage permanently to equipment.
DEMONSTRATION: Types of fuse wire/fuse-holder / cartridge / fuse / replacing a
fuse.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR AVOIDING ELECTRICAL ACCIDENTS.
IMPORTANT: Electric shock are easily received and avoided. The risk is not always
apparent, be careful. Take no chance.
1. Always switch off the main switch before replacing a blown fuse.
2. Always use correct size of fuse, while replacing blown fuse.
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
73/159
3. Always maintain earth connection in satisfactory condition, safety
depends upon good earthling.
4. Beware of live-wires or conductors bare or insulated.
5. Before replaying a lamp or handling a table fan be sure that he switch is
in OFF position.
6.
Before switching on current to any portable equipment, make sure thatit is properly earthed and insulation is sound.
7. Be sure that all the connections are tight.
8. Before working on inductive circuits or cable discharge them (through
short circuit) or earth.
9. Dont forget to put on safety belt before starting work on ground level
or pole.
10.Never disconnect a plug point by pulling the flexible wire.
11.Never temper unnecessary with any electrical apparatus unless you are
authorized to handle it.12.Never touch an over head line unless you sure that it is dead and
properly earthed.
13.Never energies a line unless you are sure that all is clean and there is no
one working on that line.
14.Never temper with electric prospective or inter-locking gearing unless
you are specially authorized for them, taking all precautious. The advices
are for your safety only.
15.While handling any portable appliances (table fan etc.) see that it is
disconnected from supply, switching OFF may not enough, leakage ofinsulation can give you a serious shock.
16.While working on an motor/Generator (Rotating Machine) make it sure
that no one can put it to ON position without your permission.
17.When cells are being charged in a room, always maintain good
ventilation. Never bring a naked light near a battery.

Earthing ((Exercise-4(b))
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016
84/159
The process of connecting metallic bodies of all the electrical apparatus and
equipment to huge mass of earth by a wire having negligible resistance is called
Earthing
Purpose of Earthing
To save human life from danger of electrical shock or death by blowing a
fuse i.e. To provide an alternative path for the fault current to flow so that
it will not endanger the user
To protect buildings, machinery & appliances under fault conditions ie. To
ensure that all exposed conductive parts do not reach a dangerous
potential.
To provide safe path to dissipate lightning and short circuit currents.
To provide stable platform for operation of sensitive electronic
equipments i.e. To maintain the voltage at any part of an electrical system
at a known value so as to prevent over current or excessive voltage on the
appliances or equipment .
To provide protection against static electricity from friction
Concept of Earthing Systems
All the people living or working in residential, commercial and industrial
installations, particularly the operators and personnel who are in close operation
and contact with electrical systems and machineries, should essentially be
protected against possible electrification. To achieve this protection, earthing
system of an installation is defined,
designed and installed according to the standard requirements..

PLUMBING TOOLS
INTRODUCTION FOR TOOLS OF PLUMBING:Following tools are used in the common
plumbing working up to medium size (10 cm / 100 mm) pipes.
1) Hacksaw2) Pipe Cutter
3) Pipe Vice
4) Pipe Bending Machine5) Threading die
6) Ratcher type die holder
7) Pipe wrench
8) Chain-wrench9) Adjustable wrench
10) Water pump pliers
11) Set the common spanners and ring spanners
1) HACKSAW: It is used for cutting of pipes. Figure 1 shows a hacksaw commonly used, it
essentially consists of a frame, Handle, Prongs, tightening screw and nut. The blade is fixedin position and tightened by means of the tightening screws.
2) PIPE CUTTING: A pipe cutting is used to cut off the pipes. It has a handle have the lengthto a suitable leverage, front position is like the letter C, Three rollers are fixed in it. The
shape of the rollers is convex on both sides. They are made of alloy steel hardened and
tempered. They rotate themselves with friction while moving around the pipe.
3) PIPE VICE:It is a device used to hold the pipe firmly while doing the operations of cuttingthreading etc., and while fixing or removing the couplings, the jaws have vee shaped grooves
or steps and they grip the pipe firmly at four corners.

4) PIPE BENGDING MACHINE:Figure, shows a pipe bending machine, hydraulicallyoperated, It essentially consists of two adjustable bending blocks. The third daily block is
pressed by means of hydraulic jack and bends the pipes according to the requirements.
5) THREADING DIE:This is a cutting tool up of HSS (High Speed Steel) Material and is
used for cutting external threads on pipes. Dies are available in different sizes and each one
will form thread of that specify size i.e., BSP die set can produce BSP threads only.Dies are fixed in die holder and pipe to be threaded is fixed in pipe vice. Dies are inserted on
to the pipe and die holder is gradually rotated completely till the threads are formed on the
pipe. It is required to check with the help of socket whether thread is completing formed ornot. Die holder has to be rotated in opposite direction for withdrawing the die sets form the
pipe.
6) RATCHET TYPE DIE HOLDER:The ordinary die holder is not suitable for threading the
pipes which are fixed in their position and die holder cannot be completely rotated due to
certain obstructions like wall, other pipes etc in such cases, ratchet type die holder is used. Itcan be rotated in the regular direction partially and dies also rotate. It can be rotated in
opposite direction in which ratchet slips and only holder is rotated but not die sets. Again it
7/24/2019 Workshop Manual 2016

can be rotated in regular direction for further threading, like wire thread is completed. Forwithdrawing die sets, ratchet position is reversed so that it rotates the die set in the opposite
direction and slips in the regular direction. Thus die sets are withdrawn from the pipe. This is
suitable for cutting the threads where complete & rotation of the die holder is not possible.
7) PIPE WRENCH: Figure shows a pipe wrench commonly used for tightening andunscrewing of the pipe up to 7 cm diameter pipes. These pipes wrenches are manufactured
from 50 to 60 cm length. The teeth are provided on the jaws to hold the pipe in position and
prevent its slipping while tightening.
8) CHAIN WRENCH:The front portion of the chain wrench is like a triangle and handle is
fixed with it having a chain also. After fixing the chain around the pipe, the chain end is
inserted in a box for locking with a pin, It holds the pipe firmly and it is fit for rotation on
either ways.
9) ADJUSTABLE WRENCH:Figure shows an adjustable wrench pump plier. It is used for
screwing and unscrewing of small diameter pipes. It can also be used in tightening of nuts of
bolts, fixing of small taps, valves, etc, in the pipe lines.
