Course Overview

Metal cutting is done by the application of mechanical forces. It involves the usage of tools like lathes, shapers, and milling machines. The course on Metal Cutting and Machine Tools by Swayam provides candidates with the opportunity to study these in detail with Professor Asimava Roy Choudhury from IIT Kharagpur

This will be a four-week online training. The Metal Cutting and Machine Tools training will cover different aspects of metal cutting, such as geometrical analysis of metal cutting tools. Candidates will go into further detail about the orientation and make-up of these tools, their features, and applications. Also, they will supplement their learning by solving numerical problems. 

The total duration of the Metal Cutting and Machine Tools syllabus is ten hours. Candidates can test their learning and gain greater insights during the MCQ discussion lecture after each week. This is an AICTE-approved FDP course by IIT Kharagpur. Thus, its optional certification is up for grabs and will be of immense value to the students.
