TTS ABW5: Abrasive Wheel Training for Brick Saws, Chop Saws etc.

This abrasive wheel course is accredited by the BAF (British Abrasives Federation) and is for operators of chop saws, brick saws etc.

A chop saw can be as dangerous to use as any other saw.

This type of saw uses a resin bonded abrasive wheel or a TCT wheel which are designed to cut metal or other hard materials.

They can also be fitted with diamond tipped wheels for brick or block cutting on specialist machines such as the Norton Clipper Saw.

As with any power tool or sharp tools, you will need to follow safety precautions to protect yourself when you use it.

There are far too many chop saw accidents reported in various work places, these accidents range from minor to severe; some resulting even in fatality.

The good news is that over 90% of these accidents are preventable if good safety precautions are adopted and this starts with thorough accredited training for all operators.

We are one of the leading providers of abrasive wheel training courses in the U.K.

All of our abrasive wheel training courses are accredited by the British Abrasives Federation (BAF).

All of our instructors are also machine operators so fully understand all aspects of cutting and grinding.

    • This is just a quick email to say thank you for the training you delivered this week, I found the course to be of great value and I gained lots from the course, I also found it interesting when you were talking about the precision grinding even though this is an area I do not work within. You catered well in my opinion for everyone on the course. Your set up is great - everything in one place + your knowledge was invaluable during the day and it just shows that those who have actually worked within the area they teach make the best tutors. I have attended so many courses where it is obvious the trainer has not had the experience in the subject but this is not the case with you. Great course, great delivery
