Fitter

Fitter trade focuses on assembling, fitting, installing, and maintaining mechanical components and machinery. Fitters work with tools like spanners, files, drills, and measuring instruments to ensure precise alignment and proper functioning of equipment. They are involved in tasks such as cutting, shaping, threading, and assembling parts in workshops and industries. Fitters must understand engineering drawings and maintain high accuracy in their work. This trade is essential in manufacturing, maintenance, and production industries. Career opportunities include roles in factories, workshops, heavy industries, and technical service sectors.

An Angle Grinder is a handheld power tool used for grinding, cutting, polishing, and surface finishing of materials such as metal, stone, and concrete. It operates using a high-speed rotating abrasive disc driven by an electric motor. Angle grinders are widely used in workshops, construction sites, and fabrication work due to their versatility and efficiency.

An Adjustable Reamer is a precision hand tool used in fitting and machining work to enlarge and finish previously drilled holes to an accurate diameter. Unlike a fixed reamer, the adjustable reamer has blades that can be expanded or adjusted slightly to accommodate different hole sizes. It is commonly used by fitters and machinists when accurate hole finishing is required. The tool helps improve the smoothness, size accuracy, and alignment of holes in metal components.
