Hard Skills
IntermediateCentreless Grinding Machine OperationThe ability to set up and operate equipment that removes material from a workpiece using a grinding wheel without the use of a spindle or centers.
IntermediatePrecision Measurement and MetrologyProficiency in using micrometers, dial indicators, and calipers to verify that ground parts meet tight dimensional tolerances.
IntermediateTechnical Drawing InterpretationReading and understanding engineering blueprints to identify required dimensions, tolerances, and surface finishes.
AdvancedGrinding Wheel Dressing and TruingThe process of restoring the cutting face of a grinding wheel and ensuring it runs concentric to the machine axis.
AdvancedFeed and Speed CalibrationCalculating and setting the correct rotational speed of the grinding wheel and the feed rate of the workpiece for optimal material removal.
FoundationalHazard Identification and Safety ComplianceIdentifying risks associated with high-speed rotating equipment and following standard operating procedures for safe machine usage.
