Workshop
Hand Tools are tools held in the hand and operated without electricity or other power.
Bench Work refers to work done at a workbench, worktable, etc., as in a factory or laboratory.
Work Holding Tools/Devices.
Bench Vise is a type of vise that is securely fastened to the bench with bolts.
The faces of the jaws are usually lightly serrated and hardened to ensure a firm grip on the work.
V-Blocks are used to hold circular work when laying out or setting up for machining.
Some V-Blocks are fitted with a clamp to work securely in position.
Toolmakers' Handvise is a small steel vise with two interchangeable blocks.
The choice of block to be used depends on the size of the article to be held by the vise.
It is used by toolmakers at the bench for small machining operations such as drilling or tapping.
C-Clamp is an all-purpose clamp made in the shape of the letter C.
It is used to hold workpieces on machines such as drill presses, as well as to clamp parts together.
The size of the clamp is determined by the largest opening of its jaws.
Toolmakers' Parallel Clamp consists of two flat steel jaws which may be adjusted to fit a piece of work.
Another screw in the end of one jaw is used to exert pressure on the other jaw.
This pressure lightens the opposite ends of the jaws.
It is used by toolmakers for holding small parts both at the bench and at machines.
Vise Grip is a latching mechanism that has an exceptionally high degree of mechanical advantage.
This means that they are exceptionally strong when locked down.
Saw is a tool consisting of a tough blade, wire, or chain with a hard toothed edge.
It is used to cut through material, very often wood.
The cut is made by placing the toothed edge against the material and moving it forcefully forth and less forcefully back or continuously forward.
Hand Saw is used to cut pieces of wood into different shapes.
Crosscut saw is designed for cutting wood perpendicular to (across) the wood grain.
Rip saw is a wood saw that is specially designed for making a rip cut, a cut made parallel to the direction of the wood grain.
Coping Saw is a type of hand saw used to cut intricate external shapes and interior cut-outs in woodworking or carpentry.
It is widely used to cut moldings to create coped rather than miter joints.
Hacksaw is a type of hand tool that features a fine-toothed blade tensioned in a C-frame.
It is commonly used for cutting metals and plastics.
Tin Snip is a common cutting tool used for cutting thin sheets of metal, plastic, fiber, and so forth.
They are used not only by tinsmiths but by all bench workers as a utility tool.
They are made in many sizes.
Hammer is a tool or device that delivers a blow (a sudden impact) to an object.
Most hammers are hand tools used to drive nails, fit parts, forge metal, and break apart objects.
Hammers vary in shape, size, and structure, depending on their purposes.
Ball-peen Hammer has a flat face which is used for general work while the round end is used for peening and riveting.
Straight peen Hammer has a peen that is parallel to the axis of the handle.
Cross peen Hammer has a peen that is at a right angle with the handle.
Claw Hammer is a hammer with one side of the head split and curved, used for extracting nails.
Mallet is a kind of hammer, often made of rubber or sometimes wood, that is smaller than a maul or beetle, and usually has a relatively large head.
Chisel is a tool made from hexagon or octagon-shaped tool steel, commonly called chisel steel.
One end is shaped for the cutting operation, and the other end is left blunt to receive the blows from a hammer.
Chisels are usually forged to the required shape, then annealed, hardened, and tempered.
Finally, a cutting edge is ground.
File is a hand-cutting tool with many teeth, used to remove burrs, sharp edges, and surplus metal, and produces finished surfaces.
Files are made up of high-carbon steel, hardened and tempered, and are used in machine shop work when it is impractical to use machine tools.
Single-Cut Files have a single row of parallel teeth across the face at an angle from 65 to 85 degrees.
These are used when a smooth surface is desired and when harder metals are to be finished.
Double-Cut Files have two rows of teeth crossing each other, one row being finer than the other.
The rows crossing each other produce hundreds of sharp cutting teeth, which remove metal quickly and make for easy clearing of chips.
Files can be identified through their cross-section, shape, and special use.
The types of files most commonly used in machine shop are the mill, flat, hand, pillar, square, round, three-square (triangular), half-round, crocket, crossing, warding, barrette, and knife.
Proper care, selection, and use of files are important factors if good results are to be obtained during the filing operation.
In order to preserve the life of a file, the following points should be observed.
Always use a file with a handle
Do not knock a file on a vise or hard-metallic surface to clean it
Keep a firm grip on the file at all times
Never use a file as a pry or hammer
Always store files where they will not rub against other files. Hang or store them separately to preserve their sharp cutting edges
Depending on the task to be accomplished, different files and techniques are used.
Stroke length, stroke direction, and pressure can all be modified.
Filing Techniques
Cross Filing – is used when metal is to be removed rapidly or the surface made flat before finishing by draw filing
Use a double-cut file and cross the stroke at regular intervals to keep the surface flat and straight.
Rough filing – use a double-cut file and cross the stroke at regular intervals to keep the surface flat and straight.
Finishing – use a single-cut file and take shorter strokes to keep the file flat on the work surface.
Draw Filing
The operation of pushing and pulling a file sidewise across the work.
The file should be held firmly in both hands so that only a few inches of the file in the center are actually used.
The main objective in draw filing is to obtain a perfectly smooth, level surface.
Cleaning
Always clean your tools immediately after use.
Tools can be washed using a hosepipe and/or scrubbed with a wire brush.
Make sure that there is no risk of spreading pathogens while you are washing your tools.
Spray light oil on areas prone to rust.
How To care Hand Tools
Storage
Store tools in a dry, sheltered environment.
Place tools in racks for easy location and safety.
Place similar tools together so that people can see easily what is available.
How To care Hand Tools
Maintenance
Keep metal blades sharp and well-oiled.
Check any nuts, bolts, rivets, screws, blades, and springs regularly for wear or damage, and replace if necessary.
Sand wooden parts back regularly and oil with a 50/50 linseed oil and turps mix.
Label damaged tools, place them out of the way and tell your supervisor or maintenance person.

Use a large piston and cylinder to drive the ram
Suited to deep drawing
Slower than mechanical drives
Mechanical presses
Convert rotation of motor to linear motion of ram
High forces at the bottom of stroke
Suited to blanking and punching
Sheet and plate metal parts are used in consumer and industrial products such as:
Automobiles and trucks
Airplanes
Railway cars and locomotives
Farm and construction equipment
Small and large appliances
Office furniture
Computers and office equipment
High strength
Good dimensional accuracy
Good surface finish
Relatively low cost
Economical mass production operations are available for large quantities
"Punch-and-die": Tooling to perform cutting, bending, and drawing
"Stamping press": Machine tool that performs most sheet metal operations
"Stampings": Sheet metal products
Cutting: Shearing to separate large sheets or cut part perimeters or make holes in sheets
Bending: Straining sheet around a straight axis
Drawing: Forming of sheet into convex or concave shapes
Three principal operations in pressworking that cut sheet metal:
Shearing
Blanking
Punching
Sheet metal cutting operation along a straight line between two cutting edges
Typically used to cut large sheets into smaller sections for subsequent operations
Blanking: Sheet metal cutting to separate a piece from surrounding stock
Cut piece is the desired part, called a blank
Punching: Sheet metal cutting similar to blanking, but the cut piece is scrap, called a slug
Remaining stock is the desired part
Distance between the punch and die
Typical values range between 4% and 8% of stock thickness
If too small, fracture lines pass each other, causing double burnishing and larger force
If too large, metal is pinched between cutting edges and excessive burr results
Straining sheet metal around a straight axis to take a permanent bend
Compression and tensile elongation of the metal occur in bending
V-bending: Performed with a V-shaped die
Edge bending: Performed with a wiping die
For low production
Performed on a press brake
V-dies are simple and inexpensive
For high production
Pressure pad required
Dies are more complicated and costly
Springback refers to the increase in the included angle of a bent part relative to the included angle of the forming tool after the tool is removed
When bending pressure is removed, elastic energy remains in the bent part, causing it to recover partially toward its original shape
Sheet metal forming to make cup-shaped, box-shaped, or other complex-curved, hollow-shaped parts
Products include beverage cans, ammunition shells, automobile body panels
Square or rectangular boxes (as in sinks)
Stepped cups
Cones
Cups with spherical rather than flat bases
Irregular curved forms (as in automobile body panels)
Each shape presents its own unique technical problems in drawing
Makes the wall thickness of a cylindrical cup more uniform
Examples: beverage cans and artillery shells
Used to create indentations in sheet metal, such as raised or indented lettering or strengthening ribs
Advantages:
Low tooling cost
Form block can be made of wood, plastic, or other easy-to-shape materials
Rubber pad can be used with different form blocks
Process is attractive in small quantity production
Most pressworking operations are performed with conventional punch-and-die tooling
The term stamping die is sometimes used for high production dies
Shows the variety of hole shapes possible
Stretch forming
Roll bending and forming
Spinning
High-energy-rate forming processes
Sheet metal is stretched and simultaneously bent to achieve shape change
Large metal sheets and plates are formed into curved sections using rolls
Continuous bending process in which opposing rolls produce long sections of formed shapes from coil or strip stock
Metal forming process in which an axially symmetric part is gradually shaped over a rotating mandrel using a rounded tool or roller
HERF processes use large amounts of energy over a very short time to form metals
HERF processes include:
Explosive forming
Electrohydraulic forming
Electromagnetic forming
Uses explosive charge to form sheet or plate metal into a die cavity
The explosive charge creates a shock wave that forces the part into the cavity
Applications: large parts, typical of aerospace industry
Steps of explosive forming:
Setup
Explosive is detonated
Shock wave forms part and plume escapes water surface
Sheet metal is deformed by the mechanical force of an electromagnetic field induced in the workpart by an energized coil
Currently the most widely used HERF process
Applications: tubular parts
Steps of electromagnetic forming:
Setup in which coil is inserted into tubular workpart surrounded by die

This are usually used for scribing lines on layout work and for checking parallel lines.
STEEL RULE
Although called a measuring tool, may also be considered a layout tool as it is indispensable in layout work for taking measurements not requiring precision.
MACHINIST SQUARES
Is the metal workers’ equivalent of a try square.
It consists of a steel blade inserted and either welded or pinned into a heavier body at an angle of 90 degrees.
These are used for checking the squareness and perpendicularity of work.
STEEL PROTRACTOR
Is a tool used for setting bevels, transferring or checking angles and similar work.
It consists of blade and plate.
The blade has double graduations from 0 to 180 degrees in opposite directions, thus permitting reading an angle directly and also the use of complementary angles.
The blade can be locked firmly at any angle.
VEE BLOCKS
Are used to hold circular work when laying out or setting up for machining.
They are manufactured in pairs from cast iron or steel.
Some Vee blocks are fitted with a clamp to work securely in position.
Combination Square Set
Is used for a number of layout operations.
The set consists of a blade(graduated rule), square head, protractor, and center head.
The blade is designed to allow the different heads to slide along the blade and be clamped at any desired location.
The groove in the blade is concave to eliminate dirt build up and permit a free and easy slide for the heads.
By removing all the heads, the blade may be used alone as a rule.
The square head is designed with a 45° and 90° edge, which makes it possible to be used as a try square and miter square.
By extending the blade below the square, it can be used as a depth rule.
The square head can also be used as a level.
The protractor head is equipped with a revolving turret graduated in degrees from 0 to 180 or to 90 in either direction.
It is used to measure or lay out angles to an accuracy of 1°.
The center head, when inserted on the blade, is used to locate and lay out the center of cylindrical workplaces.

Cutting and forming operations performed on relatively thin sheets of metal
Thickness of sheet metal ranges from 0.4 mm (1/64 in) to 6 mm (1/4 in)
Thickness of plate stock is greater than 6 mm
Operations are usually performed as cold working
A metal forming machine tool designed to shape or cut metal by applying mechanical force or pressure
Metal is formed to the desired shape without removal of chips
Presses and press tools facilitate mass production work
Considered the fastest and most efficient way to form sheet metal into finished products
Manually Operated or Power Driven
Used for thin sheet metal working operations where less pressure or force is required
Operated by manual power
Examples: hand press, ball press, fly press
Power Presses
Driven by mechanical mechanism or hydraulic system
Power source can be an electric motor or engine
Hydraulic presses
Use a large piston and cylinder to drive the ram
Suited to deep drawing
Slower than mechanical drives
Mechanical presses
Convert rotation of motor to linear motion of ram
High forces at the bottom of stroke
Suited to blanking and punching
Sheet and plate metal parts are used in consumer and industrial products such as:
Automobiles and trucks
Airplanes
Railway cars and locomotives
Farm and construction equipment
Small and large appliances
Office furniture
Computers and office equipment
High strength
Good dimensional accuracy
Good surface finish
Relatively low cost
Economical mass production operations are available for large quantities
"Punch-and-die": Tooling to perform cutting, bending, and drawing
"Stamping press": Machine tool that performs most sheet metal operations
"Stampings": Sheet metal products
Cutting: Shearing to separate large sheets or cut part perimeters or make holes in sheets
Bending: Straining sheet around a straight axis
Drawing: Forming of sheet into convex or concave shapes
Three principal operations in pressworking that cut sheet metal:
Shearing
Blanking
Punching
Sheet metal cutting operation along a straight line between two cutting edges
Typically used to cut large sheets into smaller sections for subsequent operations
Blanking: Sheet metal cutting to separate a piece from surrounding stock
Cut piece is the desired part, called a blank
Punching: Sheet metal cutting similar to blanking, but the cut piece is scrap, called a slug
Remaining stock is the desired part
Distance between the punch and die
Typical values range between 4% and 8% of stock thickness
If too small, fracture lines pass each other, causing double burnishing and larger force
If too large, metal is pinched between cutting edges and excessive burr results
Straining sheet metal around a straight axis to take a permanent bend
Compression and tensile elongation of the metal occur in bending
V-bending: Performed with a V-shaped die
Edge bending: Performed with a wiping die
For low production
Performed on a press brake
V-dies are simple and inexpensive
For high production
Pressure pad required
Dies are more complicated and costly
Springback refers to the increase in the included angle of a bent part relative to the included angle of the forming tool after the tool is removed
When bending pressure is removed, elastic energy remains in the bent part, causing it to recover partially toward its original shape
Sheet metal forming to make cup-shaped, box-shaped, or other complex-curved, hollow-shaped parts
Products include beverage cans, ammunition shells, automobile body panels
Square or rectangular boxes (as in sinks)
Stepped cups
Cones
Cups with spherical rather than flat bases
Irregular curved forms (as in automobile body panels)
Each shape presents its own unique technical problems in drawing
Makes the wall thickness of a cylindrical cup more uniform
Examples: beverage cans and artillery shells
Used to create indentations in sheet metal, such as raised or indented lettering or strengthening ribs
Advantages:
Low tooling cost
Form block can be made of wood, plastic, or other easy-to-shape materials
Rubber pad can be used with different form blocks
Process is attractive in small quantity production
Most pressworking operations are performed with conventional punch-and-die tooling
The term stamping die is sometimes used for high production dies
Shows the variety of hole shapes possible
Stretch forming
Roll bending and forming
Spinning
High-energy-rate forming processes
Sheet metal is stretched and simultaneously bent to achieve shape change
Large metal sheets and plates are formed into curved sections using rolls
Continuous bending process in which opposing rolls produce long sections of formed shapes from coil or strip stock
Metal forming process in which an axially symmetric part is gradually shaped over a rotating mandrel using a rounded tool or roller
HERF processes use large amounts of energy over a very short time to form metals
HERF processes include:
Explosive forming
Electrohydraulic forming
Electromagnetic forming
Uses explosive charge to form sheet or plate metal into a die cavity
The explosive charge creates a shock wave that forces the part into the cavity
Applications: large parts, typical of aerospace industry
Steps of explosive forming:
Setup
Explosive is detonated
Shock wave forms part and plume escapes water surface
Sheet metal is deformed by the mechanical force of an electromagnetic field induced in the workpart by an energized coil
Currently the most widely used HERF process
Applications: tubular parts
Steps of electromagnetic forming:
Setup in which coil is inserted into tubular workpart surrounded by die
