nounbabbitter (plural babbitters)

plural babbitters

  1. A worker who applies Babbitt metal.

    Many expert babbitters heat their boxes and shafts to a temperature of about 180° before pouring, which insures them against cold sheets, and generally produces a much finer bearing surface and a more perfect casting.
