Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to prepare, cut and drill machined joints in timber using mortise and tenon machines, borers and routers. Work includes non-specialist equipment maintenance and is completed in a forest and wood products factory setting.The unit applies to Machine Operator, Timber Manufactured Products Technician, Engineered Timber Products Technician. No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

The following resources must be made available:

cutting and drilling tools and equipment:

measuring equipment

drills in varying sizes

mortising chisels

tenoning saws and chains

trenching heads

maintenance tools and equipment for cutting and drilling tools

consumable components; cutting blades and drills

personal protective equipment suitable for cutting and drilling activities

a diverse, comprehensive and commercial product range of timber

manufacturers’ instructions for use and maintenance of equipment

work order for production activities with specific instructions for the cutting, drilling and storage of timber and timber products

template reports for recording processing and equipment faults

relevant personnel for the purposes of communicating information

organisational procedures for production activities using joinery machines.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessor requirements

Assessors must:

hold the appropriate assessor competency standards as outlined in regulations; and

be able to demonstrate vocational competencies at least to the level being assessed; and
