The shaper machine is used for cutting flat surfaces, grooves, and keyways. Its reciprocating single-point cutting tool moves back and forth, providing accurate and smooth surface finishes on metal work pieces.

3. MILLING MACHINE:

A milling machine performs complex cutting and shaping operations using rotating multi-point cutters. It is ideal for milling slots, gears, and contours, offering high precision and versatility for various manufacturing processes.

4. SLOTTER MACHINE:

The slotter machine is designed for vertical cutting operations, making slots, keyways, and grooves. Its vertical reciprocating tool movement ensures accurate internal and external shaping of components.

5. PLANNER MACHINE:

The planner machine is used for machining large, flat surfaces with heavy-duty cutting. Its linear reciprocating motion of the work piece ensures high precision and smooth finishes, suitable for large-scale manufacturing.

6. GRINDING MACHINE:

The grinding machine is essential for precision surface finishing. Using abrasive wheels, it removes small amounts of material, ensuring high dimensional accuracy and a smooth surface finish on metal parts.

7. DRILLING MACHINE:

The drilling machine is used for creating round holes in work pieces with high accuracy. It supports various operations like reaming, tapping, and countersinking, making it a versatile and essential workshop tool.

8. POWER HACKSAW:

The power hacksaw is a mechanized cutting tool designed for cutting metal bars, rods, and pipes. Its reciprocating blade movement enables efficient and precise cutting of hard materials.

9. GAS WELDING:

Gas welding uses a combustion flame of oxygen and fuel gas to join metal pieces. It’s widely used for repair work and sheet metal fabrication, offering good control over heat and weld quality.
10. SHIELDED METAL ARC WELDING (SMAW):
SMAW, or stick welding, uses a consumable electrode coated in flux to create strong welds. It’s versatile and effective for outdoor and heavy-duty applications, providing deep penetration and durability.

11. TIG WELDING:

TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode for precise and high-quality welds. It’s ideal for thin materials and intricate welds, offering clean and strong joints.

12. MIG WELDING:

MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding uses a continuous wire electrode and shielding gas for fast, efficient welds. It’s perfect for high-production work, providing strong, clean, and consistent welds.
