INTRODUCTION Even though this era is focusing on machine age which makes our work much more easier

and faster, the importance of hand tool operations or bench work should not be ignored. Bench work includes the operations of laying out, fitting and assembling. These operations involved perform marking, cutting, filling, chiseling, drilling and as well as fitting. Those process or method are described through various stages of work. OBJECTIVE 1. Identify and select various tools for holding, assembling or dismantling work piece. 2. Carry out basic bench work in fitting shop such as marking, sawing, filing, drilling and fitting. 3. Appreciate accuracy in engineering product to ensure fitting. APPARATUS OR EQUIPMENTS 1) Performing marking - layout table or surface plate - scribers (double end scribers was used during this project) - dividers and trammels (spring dividers) - squares (L-Square) - center punches - vernier height gauge 2) Cut work piece - bench vice - hacksaw 3) Filing - needle file - Machinists file 4) Chiseling - cold chisel(flat) - ball pen hammer

PROCEDURE

1. Before performing marking on the work piece, the most important equipment is layout table which is usually made of granite or cast iron as it provides accurate surface. There are many precautions that should be taken to ensure from rusting. The drawing was studied before the layout been cut into two piece.

2. The double line scribers was used to do the marking out of fine lines. Center punch was also used in guiding the line to be sawed in the desired location.

3. After the marking was done, the layout was then cut into two using Hacksaw. The layout was first put at the Engineers Vice before sawing.

4. After the layout was cut into two(female and male part) the L-Square was used to ensure all the edges was accurately 90. This is to ensure the product is accurate.

5. Filing was carried out after the workpiece was cut because filing operations range are from roughing until finishing. The wing workpiece was clamper centrally. During filing, correct body and feet position must be applied. File can be clean using respective brush far a better filing performance.

Fig 8:File 6. After that, the edges of those workpiece can be tested its degrees by using either V-Block or
Purssian Blue gel.

Fig 9: V-Block 7. Then, the workpiece(female and male part) was measured and mark off its accurate vertical distances. A hardened, ground, and lapped scriber is mounted on the movable jaw for marking off height

8. After the marking was done, carefully center punch the center of all hole or radii locations. During punching, the center punch was hit using hammer. While punching, the eyes must always fix on point of the center punch

Fig 11:Hammer and Chisel 9. After the chiseling was done, both of the workpiece was file again to make smoother side. The vernier caliper was used as well to measure the dimensions of both workpiece(female and male part) to be accurate. 10. The needle file was also used to get perfectly side on each edges of workpiece. 11. Then.both workpiece must be tested by fitting them perfectly. 12. The finishing was done at this stage to repair if there is any unlikely part to be fitted nicely together. 13. After that, both workpiece must be marked with matric number to differentiate them with other group using stamp mark for easier to be checked. 14. The workpiece must be measured again using Vernier Calliper to compared both real dimension and given or specified dimension. 15. Lastly , both part was covered with particular oil and covered with paper to ensure that it will not rust.

SUMMARY From this experiment, there are many important procedure and process that can be learned and taken. For tooling, holding, assembling or dismantling work must be done carefully or else it will results in imperfectly product. Other than that, this shop session also involved basic work in fitting shop such as marking, sawing, filing, and fitting. Those basic bench work are important in engineering and thus, it must be carry out carefully as the knowledge and experiences will be very useful in the future. If the dimension of work piece that have been produced are differ from the theoretical or given dimension, it means that there are some mistake that we have made throughout this session. Thus, for the next session those mistake will not be repeated again. As for this fitting session, student should pay their full intention because it is very important in engineering scope.

CONCLUSION

As for the conclusion, throughout this session there are many things that can be learned especially, all the work must be done carefully and accuracy was the most important aspect in engineering in production process to ensure fitting. All the procedures as well as the precautions must be followed to avoid from accident. Other than that,we can also identify the functions and tools used in this shop session especially holding, assembling or dismantling work piece. Bench work was also been carry out such as marking, sawing, filing, and fitting.
