FITTER. A toolfitter makes or fits up press tools, dies, cutting tools for automatic machines, and parts of such machines closely related to the operation of the tools. A pipe-fitter attends to the cutting, bending, screwing, fitting in place and joint-making of iron, steel, copper or brass pipes in various engines and machines, and installations as in factories, power stations and on board ship. An assembler is in effect a fitter of no manual skill save that of quickness, for all the parts are machined accurately to gauges (see ASSEMBLE) and few tools are employed.
