Abrasive Wheels Training with ITS
Abrasive wheel training is broken down into 2 categories:
- Mobile cutting and grinding abrasive wheels
- Bench grinders.
Mobile abrasive wheels are handheld and are commonly used on-site and powered in a number of ways including battery, 110v and petrol engines.
Bench abrasive wheels tend to be fixed on a pedestal or bench and are powered by mains electricity.
