Description:
This course is primarily intended for marine engineers who will be responsible for machining operations for repairing and maintenance on board ship, but is equally suitable for engine ratings in performing their duties and responsibilities safely and efficiently during their on board employment.
The subjects covered should serve as a valuable introduction for those who have little experience in measuring and machining and also very useful for experienced engineers. Trainees will gain considerable benefit as they will explore and experience a variety of machine tools operation techniques. The course includes specific principles of machine tools operation with their practical application using various operational techniques.
Course contents: Introduction to the machines (lathe, milling, grinding and drilling machine), their purpose, potentials, maintenance, safety procedures before, during and after the operation; introduction to the tools which are used during working operations (holding circuit tools and cutting tools); introduction to measuring equipment, which is used during working operations; practical work with the machines.
