Accidents DO happen in the workshop. But its
your duty to ensure and prevent accidents.
Always wear a shop coat or an overall that is notloose fitting; loose clothing can be caught onrevolving parts of a machine.
Always weargoggles, to protect eyes from: flyingobjects, dust, sparks etc.
N.B: its important to keep the workshop tidy; keep
all materials , machines and tools in order to preventaccidents. Prevention is better than cure!!!

The purpose of filing is to accuratelyreduce the size of any metal object to the
desired dimensions.
Filing is a method of removing metal.
Files are made from High Carbon Steelhardened and tempered. File is the chief
cutting tool used by the filter/mechanist.

Types of files There are six (6) types of files for different
purposes. They are:
The hand file- has a safe or smooth edge.It is used in corners where one face is onlyfiled.

The flat file
The flat file faces are double cut but theedges are only single cut. It is used for
general bench work. N.B. the difference between the hand and flat file is
that the hand file has an safe edge while the flat filedoesnt have any.

The square file
The square file-has a square shape andhas teeth on all four sides , which are
parallel for two thirds of the file length. It isused for shaping square slots andgrooves.

The round file
The round file-as its name implies, has around cross section. The round file is used
for enlarging holes and for working incurved areas. A picture of a round filebelow.

The triangular file
The triangular file is sometimes referred toas three-square. It is double cut on each
sides. It has a section that has anequilateral triangle and this makes it usefulfor getting into sharp corners.

The warding file
The warding file is similar to a flat file, but ithas a much thinner section. It is usually
used for filing very narrow slots, as in keys.

Two methods of Filing: Cross filing : is used for general work ; roughing down,
squaring etc.

Draw filing: is used for finishing. Most surface after beingcross filed then draw filed makes all the cross filed marksdisappear. The file is held at a right angle to the lengthof the metal and pushed back and forth along itslength. The diagram below shows the right way the fileshould be held.

Grades of file cutCut Typical use
Rough Filing soft metals, plastics
Bastard Shaping steel and fettlingiron castings
Second cut Generally used for hardermetals and for good finish
Smooth cut Draw filing and finishing hard
metalsDead smooth Accurate filing with a high
finish

Cares of file .1 To make files last, you need to handle them
with care.
Pinning is the clogging of the file teeth withparticles of metal causing the metal to looseits cutting efficiency and badly scar the work.
N.B to reduce pinning rub the file with chalk.Frequent rubbing of chalk reduces the cutting
power, which results in a smoother finish. Clean the file teeth as soon as they become
pinned.

Cares of file .2 Never use a new file on welded joints , brazed
joints, surface of a casting or a burnt solderingbit.
Never allow the file to slip over the work it dullsthe teeth.
Never use a file without an handle itsdangerous.
Use new files on brittle metals like brass , soft
coat iron and steel. Never use a small file when a large file will do
the work better

Chisels are sometimes referred as coldchisel, They are used to cut cold metals.
Chisels are made of cast steel oralloysteel, with hardened and temperedcutting edge.

The four (4) common types ofchisels, they are:
The flat chisel, is used for general purposechiseling.

The cross cut chisel
The cross cut chisel, is used for cuttinggrooves such as keyways, and for
chipping.

The half round/round nosedchisel
The half round/round nosed chisel, is usedfor cutting grooves (which are either
curved or half round).

This has a steel frame, which can beturned at right angles for cutting deep
into the material. The blade is secured in the rigid frame.
The teeth points forward to enable thesaw to cut on the forward stroke.
Hacksaw blades are made of cast orhigh-speed steel.

There are two types: all hard and flexible.The difference between two is that the all
hard snaps easily and is notrecommended for schools.
Hacksaw blades come in the followinglengths: 225, 250 and 300 mm. they are
also available with 14, 18, 24 and 32 teethper 25mm for cutting different materials.

Continuing
The different types of hacksaws are: thehacksaw, the junior hacksaw, the sheet
saw and the piercing saw.

Part 2 of Physical
Properties
Malleability: a property in metal whichallows it to be hammered or pressed into
shape without breaking. Brittleness: a property of metal which
allows it to break strain or shock.
