TTS ABW4: Abrasive Wheel Training for Precision Grinding – Surface, Cylindrical Grinding etc.

This abrasive wheel course is accredited by the BAF (British Abrasives Federation) and is for operators of precision grinders; surface, cylindrical grinders etc.

Grinding wheels are safe tools when they are used in accordance with some basic rules.

However if they are used incorrectly or not fitted carefully onto the machine, there is the possibility that the grinding wheel may burst.

There are far too many grinding wheel accidents reported in various work places, these grinding 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.

“There is no substitute for thorough practical training in all aspects of the mounting and use of abrasive wheels.” Source HSG17 “Safety in the Use of Abrasive Wheels”..

The practical training will include: wheel changes, dressing of the wheels where required and an operator competency assessment.

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.
