CHAPTER IIMECHANICAL TOOLS
Chipping is a process of removing metal from a workpiece by means of a cutting instrument such as a chisel and a hammer. This process is used when a large piece of metal has to be removed from a workpiece; this process is very labour-consuming1 and is applied only in cases when the workpiece cannot be machined. Chipping is used in cases when it is necessary to cut off a piece of metal from sheet metal. Chipping of large parts is always done on an anvil but very often it is done in a bench vice. The workpiece to be tooled is fixed during the cutting process in the bench vice. There are different tools used in metal-working shops for chipping stocks such as chisels. A chisel is a tool made of very hard steel, having a cutting edge at one end of the blade. This cutting edge is wedge-shaped. Under the effect of an external force applied to the wedge it cuts into the metal. The work of the wedge depends mainly on its cutting angle. The cutting edge of the chisel should be sharpened to an acute angle so as to provide for the best cutting ability, depending on the stock to be chipped. The harder the metal, the larger should be the cutting  Fig. 2.a — bar with an obtuse angle; b — bar with an acute angle  Fig. 3. Process of Chipping by Means of a Chisel: 1 — front cutting face; 2 — front rake; 3 — cutting angle; 4 — back cutting face; 5 — clearance angle; 6 — lip angle angle of the chisel and vice versa. An angle of about 70° is suitable for most work. Fig. 2 shows a schemeof the process of cutting into metal,and the angles of the wedge. Fig. 3 shows the process of chipping by means of a chisel, as well as the cutting angles. The plane АО called the "front cutting face" or the "top face" is given a backward and sidewise slope for sliding the chips off the tool in a convenient direction while the plane OB is called the "back cutting face". Being formed between the front and back cutting faces of the chisel the angle AOB is known as the lip angle. The angle BOC is the clearance angle which is formed by the back cutting face of the chisel and the surface of the work to be treated. The slope in the direction of the chisel length in which the chip moves is called the "front rake" or "true rake". The angle AOC formed by the lip angle and clearance angle is known as the "cutting angle". There are different types of chisels such as flat chisels, cape chisels, etc. Hammers are striking tools used in chipping, bending and other operations. Hammers are made of a solid piece of forged tool carbon, steel, their weight depending on the stock to be removed. _______________________ 1. labour-consuming - трудоемкий Exercises I.

Metal cutting differs from-chipping in substituting impact stresses by pressing forces in this operation. Cutting is used for separating some part from a piece of metal as well as to cut angles, grooves and pipes. Depending upon the shape and size of workpieces cutting is done by means of different cutting tools such as pliers, bench-shears, alligator shears, hack saws and pipe-cutters made of carbon steel.  Fig. 4. Pliers:1 – cutting jaw; 2 – handle Pliers, or wire-cutters (Fig. 4) are used for cutting thin wire. Pliers consist of two cutting jaws and two handles.A piece of wire is placed between the cutting jaws and the wire is cut by exerting pressure on the handles of the pliers.  Fig. 5. Bench-Shears: 1— shear blade; 2 — handle Bench shears are made of steel. Lateral surfaces of shear blades are hardened, sharpened and ground. Bench-shears (Fig. 5) are provided with two handles one of which is at a right angle to the other and fixed on a bench. The length of the handle is 400-800 mm, while that of the cutting part is 100-300 mm. The material is cut by pressing on one of the handles.  Fig. 6 Hack Saw 1 — frame: 2 — toothed blade A hack saw (Fig. 6) is used for cutting thick metal sheets, bars, round-shaped material, etc. The hack saw consists of a frame and a long toothed blade made of tool carbon steel. The teeth on the blade are hardened. The blades with different pitches have different applications, the pitch of the blade depending on the material to be sawed. The thinner the material to be handled, the finer must be  Fig. 7. Alligator Shears:1 - bed; 2 — bedplate; 3 — arm; 4 — cutting blade; 5 — electromotor; 6 — machine vice the pitch of the blade used for sawing this material, and vice versa. Fig. 7 shows alligator shears which is a heavy duty machine) for cutting materials of large sections such as pipes, beams, auto frames, axles and different types of industrial scrap. The alligator shears consist of cast iron bed 1 and bedplate 2. Arm 3 is mounted on the bedplate. Cutting blade 4 is fixed within the arm. Electromotor 5 imparts reciprocating motion to the arm and the, blade. The workpiece to be cut is clamped in machine vice 6. Special pipe-cutters (Fig. 8) serve for cutting pipes. The pipe-cutter consists of body 1, handle 4, and three steel cutting rollers. Two rollers 2 installed on the fixed axles of the body and roller 3 installed on the axle of the handle may revolve and cut a pipe fixed in a special pipe fixture. For this purpose the pipe-cutter is turned round the pipe to be cut, pressing the cutting rollers against its surface.  Fig. 8. Pipe-Cutters:1- body; 2 – rollers; 3 – roller; 4 - handle Exercises I.

Filing is the most widely used fitting operation in the practice of metalworking shops used for cutting metal by means of a tool known as a file. By means of a file it is possible to give a different shape and size to a workpiece, to fit one part to another, etc. The most widely used operations with a file are: (1) filing separate surfaces, (2) filing mating surfaces, (3) filing holes. A file is a hardened steel bar having a great number of fine cutting edges or teeth running diagonally across its face. These teeth can remove fine chips from a treated work-piece. A file differs from a chisel in having a large number of cutting points instead of one cutting edge and in being driven directly by hand instead of by hammer. There are various kinds of files applied for finishing different workpieces depending on the shape of their surfaces (Fig. 9). Flat files are used for filing flat surfaces but the shape of the files is not quite flat because if the file had been made quite flat, it would have prevented the production of a flat surface, as the file would have cut away at the edges of a work and would have left a convex surface. For filing convex and concave surfaces half-round files are used. A half-round file is made with a convex surface to prevent all the teeth from cutting at the same time, which requires too much pressure on the file, as well as to prevent the file from bending. Square files are applied for filing square holes and rectangle grooves, while triangular or three-square files are used for filing angles. Round files are used for filing round holes of small diameters, and for filing metal in narrow places diamond-shaped files made of copper strip into which diamond powder has been hammered, or knife files are used. For filing soft metals rasp files or rasps are employed.  Fig. 9. FilesExercises I.
