Bench work refers to a variety of manual operations carried out on a workbench. These
tasks include measuring, marking, cutting, filing, drilling, tapping, and assembling parts.
A fitter’s work is unavoidable when different parts are to be assembled in position after
they have been finished. Alignment of machine parts, bearings, engine slide valves and
similar other works call for a fitter’s work. Reconditioning and refitting of machines and
machine parts cannot be done without a skilled fitter.
All the above types of work require the use of a large number of hand tools and a fitter
must have good working knowledge of all these tools and instruments.
