Over 11 modules, you’ll learn about the tools, processes and applications involved in successful abrasive wheel handling.
Whether your work involves hand grinding or disc cutting, preliminary cuts and scores or fine polishing and finishing, you’ll become familiar with the properties and characteristics of each wheel – as well as the potential hazards they pose.
After a general introduction to abrasive wheels, the next four modules cover abrasive wheel designs, dangers and correct safety procedures.
This gives you the foundational knowledge to ensure you are choosing the correct wheel for the job.
Next, you’ll learn about wheel markings, how to store and handle your wheel, and how to check and test if it is in a safe working condition.
You will also look at issues around abrasive wheels training, certification and inspections before the final module provides an overall course summary.
This is an important chance to revisit topics covered in each of the previous 10 modules.
