ICC to offer Intro to Welding and Cutting Registration is underway for Introduction to Welding and Cutting, which will begin Feb. 2 at the Itawamba Community College Belden Center. It meets from 6-9 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays, through Mar. 4. The class is designed to gprovide entry-level skills in welding and cutting as well as to prepare students to do very basic GMAW and SMAW welding jobs that some industries and small businesses require. This class can also be useful to the small farmer or business owner who has many do-it-yourself projects since different types of welding are emphasized. The class includes a basic introduction to oxy-fuel cutting, welding safety, voltage regulation and setting wire feed speeds as well as a lot of “hands-on” practice. Students will also learn to discuss and apply proper safety procedures for welding, practice safety procedures for both GMAW and SMAW welding operations as well as oxy-fuel cutting operations. For more information or to register, contact Josh Gammill, Pathway Coordinator, at jegammill@iccms.edu, or call (662) 407-1569. January 8, 2021 By Thomas, Donna S. General 0 Comment Read More >>
