Please call 1.866.706.8665 to schedule a demonstration or to begin an assessment program today.

Test Name:	Job: Production Grinder - UPDATED
Number of Questions:	122
Test Description:	The assessment for production grinders tests for an understanding of grinding machines and processes, grinding wheel materials, print reading and inspection methods, and workpiece material properties. This assessment also addresses lean initiatives and cell designs. Test questions are based on class material from the abrasives, CNC, inspection, materials, metal cutting, quality, safety, shop mathematics/print reading, and workholding departments.
Test Instructions:	This online test requires uninterrupted access to a computer with an Internet connection. For math-related questions, please have paper and pencils on hand for your calculations. Textbooks, calculators, and other electronic devices are NOT allowed.

This assessment covers all these classes:
