Static+Machines

=**Static machines**= include
 * SAWS (**with blades):the common ones are sliding table saw, rip saws, band saws, radial arms saws, docking saws, compound mitre saws and aluminium saws.


 * TIMBER DRESSING/SHAPING MACHINES** (machines with cutters and knives): Common types include Jointers (buzzers), thicknesser (planers), spindle moulders, headers and pin routers.


 * FINISHING MACHINES:** Common types include linisher, sliding table sander, drum sander, disc sander, dolley sander

Nested machine machine technology that allows a machine to cut, shape and drill components in one operation are becoming very common in the industries and will eventually become the standard production machine due to their inherent abilities to operatusing computer aided design and manufacture interface.
 * NESTED MACHINE CENTRES**

=SAWS= They are used for breaking down larger sections of timber and sheet material into manageable parts close to their finished size or even to the exact finished size. Download the notes on using the sliding table saw.
 * //Sliding table saws//** and drop saws are the most commons saws used in the detail joinery and Shopfitting industries.

**Section 2: Planing Machines**
Surface planer (buzzer/jointer), After reading the notes in the Basic Static Machines document, watch the video below and list the faults, bad practices and handy tips demonstrated in this video.

Section 3: Sanding Machines
Sanding machines, Stroke sanders, Edge or linisher sanders, Disc sanders Contour or pneumatic drum sander, Bobbin sander

**Section 4: Boring Machines**
Boring machines, Vertical drill, Horizontal borers or dowel borer there is a large range of of booring machines available to shopfitters and detail joiners. Single head vertical drill presses and horizontal boring machines are availble for simple one hole at a time drilling. see the following document and website for details on drill presses and accessories.

CNC machining:
In recent years computers and computer controlled machinery have had a significant impact on manufacturing in the Shopiftting and Detail Joinery Industry. CNC machines are now common place and as naturally as evolution you will need the skills and knowledge related to CNC applications, CNC machine setting, programming and operation.

The introduction of flat bed routers and CNC milling machines has changed the way many cabinet, joiner and window companies manufacture.

in furniture fitments, desks, reception, display wall panelling are all often made using simple flat panel designs with intricate designs being machine carved into flat panels to create corporate logos and designs similar to the orignal relief type carvings of yesteryear. Some examples are shown below old style relief carving by hand Relief carving by flat bed router (both pictures from from flickr: a.http://www.flickr.com/photos/david_r_reustle/3156394237/ b.http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3205/2736755605_bf29095cfb.jpg) These are some notes explaining CNC maching Display wall panelling for shops
