Inside the BIP Workshops: Bench Cutting Machine

At BIP, we believe the best way to learn is by doing. Our workshops are built to give students real exposure to the machines and tools they’ll encounter in the field. In today’s edition of Inside the BIP Workshops, we’re spotlighting a versatile tool found in nearly every technical training environment: the Bench Cutting Machine.

What is a Bench Cutting Machine?

The Bench Cutting Machine is used to cut a wide range of materials including metal, wood, and plastic. Compact yet powerful, this machine is ideal for cutting small to medium-sized parts with accuracy and control.

From preparing custom components to shaping raw materials, students at BIP learn to use the bench cutter with confidence—an essential skill for careers in construction, fabrication, and engineering.

How It Works: Operation Basics

Students at BIP are trained to follow key steps to ensure safety and precision when using the bench cutting machine:

1. Secure the Workpiece: Before switching on the machine, the material must be firmly fixed to prevent slipping during the cut.
2. Adjust the Wheel Speed: Depending on the type of material, students adjust the grinding or cutting wheel speed for optimal performance and safety.
3. Position and Cut: With everything in place, the cutting process begins—always with full attention to technique and control.

Why It’s Important

The bench cutting machine helps students develop:

• Material awareness — understanding how different materials behave under the blade.
• Tool control — learning how to operate with steadiness and accuracy.
• Safety habits — reinforcing key practices like securing parts and adjusting speeds correctly.

It’s these kinds of hands-on lessons that give BIP students an edge in real-world job sites, workshops, and production floors.
