Metalworking is the craft and practice of working with metals to create parts or structures. It requires skill and the use of many different types of tools, including:

- Cutting fluidCutting Fluid is an emulsion of oil and water used for cooling and lubrication of machine tools that shape metals and sometimes other materials. The oil and water are mixed with detergent to form a milky white fluid that takes many days to separate. Cutti
- Dial gauge
- Marking blueMarking Blue is a dye used in metalworking. It is used to stain or paint a metal object with a very thin layer of dye that can be scratched off using a scribe or other sharp instrument to reveal a bright, yet very narrow line in the metal underneath.
- MicrometerA micrometer is a widely used device in mechanical engineering for precisely measuring thickness of blocks, outer and inner diameters of shafts and depths of slots. Micrometers have several advantages over other types of measuring instruments like the Ver
- Vernier calipers
- WeldingWelding is the joining together of materials (typically metals or thermo plastics), usually by a fusion process. Most commonly, workpieces are welded by melting both of them and adding more molten metal or plastic to form a pool that cools to form a stron/ solderingSoldering is a method of applying a lower-melting-point metal to join other metal parts using solder. Soldering can be performed in a number of ways, including bulk liquification, or by using a point source such as an electric soldering iron or brazing to equipment
