(latest NCVER data)Straight cutters dull quickly on moulder/planers, veneer cutting machines and chippers, and poorly ground cutters leave burnt, chipped or uneven surfaces. FWPCOT3276 Sharpen cutters using a straight knife grinder focuses on restoring that edge correctly, giving RTOs with saw technology learners a clearly defined grinding unit supported by FWPCOT3276 training resources.
Learners develop skills in cleaning and checking cutters, matching cutters in pairs, selecting, fitting and dressing grinding wheels, setting grinding angles, wheel advance and traversing stops, maintaining coolant flow and honing and storing sharpened cutters.

This package of FWPCOT3276 RTO training materials provides a prepared resource base for sharpening cutters with a straight knife grinder. Purchase RTO materials to cut development time and work from FWPCOT3276 training resources ready for contextualisation.
Check the latest unit requirements on training.gov.au before delivery. Your team should contextualise and validate these FWPCOT3276 training materials for its learner cohort, delivery model and selected compliance environment. Use the supplied mapping as a starting point when reviewing your FWPCOT3276 materials against the Standards for RTOs.
Sharpening straight cutters accurately keeps moulder/planers, veneer cutting machines and chippers producing clean, consistent surfaces. FWPCOT3276 Sharpen cutters using a straight knife grinder focuses on preparing the grinder, mounting cutters and grinding edges to the specified angle and a constant straight line.
The unit addresses five core areas:
Yes. The content covers matching cutters for dimension, shape and weight and marking them according to workplace procedures before sharpening.
The materials address warp, cracks, chips, burns, delamination and raised spots, together with grinding wheel faults such as cracking and clogging and the remedial action for each.
Yes. The Session Plan and PowerPoint Presentation support a sequence of explanation, demonstration and supervised grinding. Trainers can add photos of their own grinder set-up.
The purchasing organisation can use the resources with any number of enrolled learners without per-student fees, subject to the applicable licence conditions.
They are developed as compliant learning resources with training package requirements in mind, but they do not guarantee compliance or audit outcomes. A free sample lets your team review them first.
