Using a file is an operation that is nearly indispensable when working

with metal. You may be cross filing, draw filing, using a file card, or
Filing Operations even polishing metal. Let's examine these operations. When you have
finished using a file, it may be necessary to use an abrasive cloth or
paper to finish the product. Whether this is necessary depends on
how fine a finish you want on the work.

CROSSFILING
This means that the file is being moved across the surface of the work
in approximately a crosswise direction. For best results, keep your
feet spread apart to steady yourself as you file with slow, full-length,
steady strokes. The file cuts as you push it—ease up on the return
stroke to keep from dulling the teeth. Keep your file clean. View B
shows the alternate positions of the file when an exceptionally flat
surface is required. Using either position first, file across the entire
length of the stock. Then, using the other position, file across the
entire length of the stock again. Because the teeth of the file pass
over the surface of the stock from two directions, the high spots and
low spots will readily be visible after filing in both positions. Continue
filing first in one position or direction and then the other until the
surface has been filed flat. Test the flatness with a straightedge or
with Prussian blue and a surface plate. USE OF FILE CARD.
As you file, the teeth of the file may "clog up" with some of the metal
filings and scratch your work. This condition is known as PINNING.
DRAWFILING. You can prevent pinning by keeping the file teeth clean. Rubbing

HACKSAW
Hacksaws are used to cut metal that is too heavy for snips or bolt
cutters. Thus, metal bar stock can be cut readily with hacksaws
 Good work with a hacksaw depends not only upon the proper use of
the saw but also upon the proper selection of the blades for the work
to be done. Coarse blades, with fewer teeth per inch, cut faster and
are less likely to choke up with chips. However, finer blades, with
more teeth per inch, are necessary when thin sections are being cut.
The selection should be made so that, as each tooth starts its cut, the
tooth ahead of it will still be cutting. To make the cut, first install the
blade in the hacksaw frame so the teeth point away from the handle of
the hacksaw. (Hand hacksaws cut on the push stroke.) Tighten the
wing nut until the blade is definitely under tension. This helps make
straight cuts. Push stroke.) Tighten the wing nut until the blade is
definitely under tension. This helps make straight cuts

Place the material to be cut in a vise. A minimum of overhang will

reduce vibration, give a better cut, and lengthen the life of the blade.
Have the layout line outside of the vise jaw so that the line is visible
while you work. The proper method of holding the hacksaw is
depicted in figure 1-16. See how the index finger of the right hand,
pointed forward, aids in guiding the frame. When cutting, let your body
sway ahead and back with each stroke. Apply pressure on the forward
stroke, which is the cutting stroke, but not on the return stroke. From
40 to 50 strokes per minute is the usual speed. Long, slow, steady
strokes are preferred. For long cuts, rotate the blade in the frame so
that the length of the cut is not limited by the depth of the frame. Hold
the work with the layout line close to the vise jaws, raising the work in
the vise as the sawing

in the head of a cap screw or machine bolt, fit the hand hacksaw
frame with two blades side by side, and with teeth lined up in the
same direction. With slow, steady strokes, saw the slot approximately
one-third the thickness of the head of the cap screw. Such a slot will
permit subsequent holding or turning with a screwdriver when it is
impossible, due to close quarters, to use a wrench.

Hacksaw Safety
The main danger in using hacksaws is injury to your hand if the blade
breaks. The blade will break if too much pressure is applied, when the
saw is twisted, when the cutting speed is too fast, or when the blade
becomes loose in the frame. Additionally, if the work is not tight in the
vise, it will sometimes slip, twisting the blade enough to break it.

Various types are available, with hard and soft rubber, plastic or
copper faces. Some come with a choice of faces which are
interchangeable. Useful for striking materials such as chrome wing

In addition, woodworking chisels should have crowned steel strike

One type of wood chisel the butt chisel has a short blade that ranges
from about 2-1/2" to 3" long. It is used by pattern makers,
cabinetmakers, carpenters and do-it-yourselfers for carving and
paring, particularly in tight spots. It can be used with hard-faced
hammers.
 used for cutting V-grooves and sharp corners. As with other tools,
there is a correct technique for using a chisel. Select a chisel that is
large enough for the job. Be sure to use a hammer that matches the
chisel; that is, the larger the chisel, the heavier the hammer. A heavy
chisel will absorb the blows of a light hammer and will do virtually no
cutting. When using a chisel for chipping, always wear goggles to
protect your eyes. If others are working close by, see that they are
protected from flying chips by erecting a screen or shield to contain
the chips.

VISES
The size of a vise is measured by both the jaw width of the vise and
the capacity of the vise when the jaws are fully open.

Bench vises are designed for light work in the home, garage and farm.
They come in stationary and swivel models, milled and ground jaws,
machined to ensure proper operation.

Woodworking vises feature jaws made of wood from 6" to 10" wide.
Some woodworking vises have a fast-acting screw arrangement for
the rapid positioning of the movable jaw prior to clamping. Smaller
vises have continuous screws and are light and easy to clamp on a
workbench or sawhorse. A hinged pipe vise is used to hold pipe in
position for threading and cutting.
Utility vises have jaws ranging from 3" to 6". Better models feature
swivel bases so the vise may be turned to the best angle for each
particular job. Some utility vises either have cast in pipe jaws or permit
special curved-face pipe jaws to be inserted between the regular jaws

FOUR STROKE ENGINES Special features of diesel engine

 Engine has high compression ratio ranging from 14:1 to 22:1.
 During compression stroke, the engine attains high pressure
ranging from 30 to 45 kg/cm2 and high temperature of about
500°C.
 At the end of the compression stroke, fuel is injected into the
cylinder through injectors (atomizers) at a very high pressure
ranging from 120 to 200 kg/cm2.
 Ignition takes place due to heat of compression only.
 There is no external spark in diesel engine.
 Diesel engine has better slogging or lugging ability i.e. it
maintains higher torque for a longer duration of time at a
lower speed.
 i) Cylinder: It is a part of the engine which confines the expanding
gases and forms the combustion space. It is the basic part of the
engine. It provides space in which piston operates to suck the air or
air-fuel mixture. The piston compresses the charge and the gas is
allowed to expand in the cylinder, transmitting power for useful work.
Cylinders are usually made of high grade cast iron.

ii) Cylinder block: It is the solid casting body which includes the
cylinder and water jackets (cooling fins in the air cooled engines).

iii) Cylinder head: It is a detachable portion of an engine which covers

the cylinder and includes the combustion chamber, spark plugs or
injector and valves.

iv) Cylinder liner or sleeve: It is a cylindrical lining either wet or dry

type which is inserted in the cylinder block in which the piston slides.
Liners are classified as: (1) Dry liner and (2) Wet liner. Dry liner
makes metal to metal contact with the cylinder block casing. Wet
liners come in contact with the cooling water, whereas dry liners do
not come in contact with the cooling water.

v) Piston: It is a cylindrical part closed at one end which maintains a

close sliding fit in the engine cylinder. It is connected to the
connecting rod by a piston pin. The force of the expanding gases
against the closed end of the piston, forces the piston down in the
Four stroke petrol engine cylinder. This causes the connecting rod to rotate the crankshaft (Fig
3). Cast iron is chosen due to its high compressive strength.
Aluminum and its alloys preferred mainly due to it lightness.

normal stroke, hence some type of blower or compressor is used to
remove the exhaust gases in two stroke cycle engine. Power or working stroke:

The pressure of the combustion gases pushes the piston downward,

generating more work than it required to compress the charge.
Complementary to the compression stroke, the combustion gases
expand and as a result their temperature, pressure and density
decreases. When the piston is near to BDC the exhaust valve opens.
The combustion gases expand irreversibly due to the leftover
pressure—in excess of back pressure, the gauge pressure on the
exhaust port—; this is called the blow down.

Exhaust:

The exhaust valve remains open while the piston moves upward
expelling the combustion gases. For naturally aspirated engines a
small part of the combustion gases may remain in the cylinder during
normal operation because the piston does not close the combustion
chamber completely; these gases dissolve in the next charge. At the
end of this stroke, the exhaust valve closes, the intake valve opens,
and the sequence repeats in the next cycle. The intake valve may
open before the exhaust valve closes to allow better scavenging.

TWO STROKE ENGINE

In two stroke cycle engines, the whole sequence of events i.e.,

suction, compression, power and exhaust are completed in two
strokes of the piston i.e. one revolution of the crankshaft. There is no
valve in this type of engine. Gas movement takes place through holes
called ports in the cylinder. The crankcase of the engine is air tight in
which the crankshaft rotates

OPERATION OF A TWO STROKE ENGINES

Upward stroke of the piston (Suction + Compression)

When the piston moves upward it covers two of the ports, the exhaust
port and transfer port, which are normally almost opposite to each
other. This traps the charge of air- fuel mixture drawn already in to the
cylinder. Further upward movement of the piston compresses the
charge and also uncovers the suction port. Now fresh mixture is
drawn through this port into the crankcase. Just before the end of this
stroke, the mixture in the cylinder is ignited by a spark plug (Fig 2 c
&d). Thus, during this stroke both suction and compression events are
completed.

Downward stroke (Power + Exhaust)

Burning of the fuel rises the temperature and pressure of the gases
which forces the piston to move down the cylinder. When the piston
moves down, it closes the suction port, trapping the fresh charge
drawn into the crankcase during the previous upward stroke. Further
downward movement of the piston uncovers first the exhaust port and
then the transfer port. Now fresh charge in the crankcase moves in to
the cylinder through the transfer port driving out the burnt gases
through the exhaust port. Special shaped piston crown deflect the
incoming mixture up around the cylinder so that it can help driving out
the exhaust gases. During the downward stroke of the piston power

manifold past the intake valves and into the cylinder. The amount of
fuel mixed into the air to obtain the required air to fuel ratio is
controlled by the venturi or choke. When air flows through the venturi
its speed increases and the pressure drops. This causes the fuel to be
sucked into the air stream from a hole or jet. When the engine is at
idle or at rapid acceleration there is not enough air passing through
the venturi to draw fuel. Problems To overcome these problems other
systems are used. Other systems are used.

Delivering gasoline to the carburetor

Gasoline is delivered to the carburetor by the fuel pump and is stored

in the fuel bowl. To keep this level of fuel stored in the bowl constant
Handling low speeds

When the engine is idle there is very little air flowing through the
venturi because the throttle valve is closed. The idle port allows
the engine to operate under this condition. Fuel is forced through
the idle port because of a pressure differential between air in the
fuel bowl and vacuum below the throttle valve. Idle fuel mixture is
controlled by an adjustable needle valve.

Handling high speeds

At higher engine speeds more fuel is drawn from the main

nozzle. Fuel comes from the fuel bowl through the fuel nozzle
and into the throat of the carburetor where it mixes with air.

Principal components of a shaper machine
SHAPER
Shaper is a reciprocating type of machine tool in which the ram moves

on the table. The table may be supported at the outer end. The ram
reciprocates and thus cutting tool held in tool holder moves forward
and backward over the work piece. In a standard shaper, cutting of
material takes place during the forward stroke of the ram. The
backward stroke remains idle and no cutting takes place during this
stroke. The feed is given to the work piece and depth of cutis adjusted
by moving the tool downward towards the work piece. The time taken
during the idle stroke is less as compared to forward cutting stroke
and this is obtained by quick return mechanism. The cutting action

and the swivel cutter head ram-type milling machine.

 Swivel Cutter Head Ram-type Milling Machine. A cutter head

containing the milling machine spindle is attached to the ram.
The cutter head can be swiveled from a vertical to a
horizontal spindle position, or can be fixed at any desired
angular position between the vertical and horizontal. The
saddle and knee are driven for vertical and cross feed
adjustment; the worktable can be either hand driven or power
driven at the operator's choice.

Drilling machine

 Holes in the work piece are necessary for many purposes

such as fastening the object with nuts and bolts, Screws, for
fixing assembly purpose so it is necessary to make holes in
the work piece. So the Drilling is a process of making a hole
in the blank work piece, or enlarging the existing hole. The
Machine which is used for this purpose is called as drilling
machine. It consist of spindle which is rotated by the motor
and transmitting mechanism, The spindle in turn rotates the
drilling tool called as drill, as drill is press fitted into the
spindle. Drill is fed into work by feed mechanism. The work
piece is fixed on the table, as the drill fed into the work piece;
Parts of drilling machine
the hole is created by removing material in the form of chips.
All the components are supported by frame. Cutting fluid is
commonly used to cool the drill bit, increase tool life, increase
speeds and feeds, increase the surface finish, and aid in Base: base is the lowest horizontal part which supports the entire
ejecting chips. structure of drilling machine. It is made up of cast iron because cast
iron absorbs vibrations. So the vibrations transmitted to foundation get
reduced.
Work table: It is mounted on column which supports the work.
Generally it has two types of motions. a. It can swing about column. it
can move up and down. This facilitates the positioning of work piece
while drilling.

Spindle: It is a hollow portion which is provided with rotary motion

spindle imparts this rotator motion to drill.

Head: It consist of drive mechanism and feed mechanism.
