Are you currently working / looking to work on any of the following machines?
- Disc Cutters.
- Surface Grinders.
- Chop Saws.
- Pedestal Grinders.
- Angle Grinders.
- Bench Grinders.
All the above are fitted with Abrasive Wheels. You must have received formal Abrasive Wheel Safety Training before you can operate the machine. If you do not know how to fit the wheels to your equipment, what speed restrictions certain wheels have and the difference between different types of wheels, then you put yourself at high risk of having a fatal accident.
Did you know abrasive wheels can reach speeds up to 200mph in excess?
In theory, an abrasive wheel could cover the length of a football pitch in 2 seconds.
When people hear “abrasive wheel” the majority think of angle grinders and bench grinders, however there are multiple pieces of equipment that use abrasive wheels due to their reliant and effective abilities. This Is the reason they are used in so many workplaces for multiple different jobs as their ability varies. For example, bricklayers commonly use Disc Cutters because they use unique diamond cut blades that have abrasive on the tips of each segments that are very efficient at cutting through bricks and patio slabs etc.
At Ace Trainers, we provide Abrasive Wheel Safety Training to ensure you are aware of all the potential dangers that come with using abrasive wheels, and the precautions you need to take in order to eliminate these risks.
