1. 7.6.1 Cutting and shaping processes

   • Sawing
   • Bag press
   • Routing
   • Mortising

2. 7.6.2 Scale of production

   • One-off
     • A one off item is something that is only ever made once, something such as a product from a company that makes personalised cards or anything else along those lines, they might not really be remade unless ofcourse seomeone else wants something like it then it would be
   • Continuous
     • Continuous production is something that is always being made in something such as a factory, normally the process of something like this would be automated by robots but there are times where it might need to be made by humans if it has very fine details that a machine could mess up on
   • Batch
     • Batch production is something that is made in batches over and over again, something like break, a company would make say 100 loaves of the bread at a time with the supplies that they have thent
   • Mass production
     • Mass Production is something that is made on the large scale, something that is sold to shops for the shops to sell, things like food and drinks. The production of these is done via machine and never stops working

3. 7.6.3 Quality production

   • Marking-out methods
   • Jigs
     • A Jig is something that you would use to guide where a drill bit is drilling into, A Jig would normally be made out of metal.
   • Efficient cutting to minimise waste
   • Working within tolerance
   • Quality control
     • Quality Control is a system that is designated to making sure that a product is good to be sold and to make sure that it applies to regulations.
   • Fixtures
     • When you are cutting two or more pieces of wood at the same time you would use a fixture to ensure that the all of the materials stay together
   • Patterns
     • Patterns are similar to templates however, a pattern is normally the term for a collection of different templates that are all combined to make one product. 
   • Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM)
     • This is a machine that uses things such as lasers to cut/shape a material, and it will be controlled by a machine. sometimes there would have to be an operator but for some things such as laser cutters you can set it to print something and just let the machine do all the work from there without you having to do anything to it 
   • Sub-assembly
     • A sub assembly is a smaller product that is in a larger product, and is not essential but it does provide some nice
   • Templates
     • A template is a shape that is cut out or something that you can draw around/fill in to get a general shape to work with.
