Modification History
Release 2 - Imported units updated. Equivalent.
Release 1 - New qualification
Qualification Description
This qualification describes the skills and knowledge required to perform timber and composites machining for the manufacture of furniture, cabinetry, windows and doors, and other components utilising a range of specialist machinery, and includes preparing and working from drawings and cutting lists. The skills include static and computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine set up, operation maintenance and basic troubleshooting.
There are three possible specialist streams embedded in this qualification:
Stream 1 -- Flat Panel Machining
Stream 2 – Solid Timber Machining
Stream 3 – Machining Technician
Units may be chosen from the specialist stream elective groups to achieve any of the three specialisations or a broad combination of competencies can be selected from all electives with no identified specialisation.
Where specialisation is achieved, RTOs should identify this as follows:
MSF30313 Certificate III in Timber and Composites Machining
(Flat Panel Machining)
or
MSF30313 Certificate III in Timber and Composites Machining
(Solid Timber Machining)
or
MSF30313 Certificate III in Timber and Composites Machining
(Machining Technician)
There are no specific licences that relate to this qualification. However, depending on the jurisdiction, licensing or regulatory requirements may apply to the use of some units in this qualification. Local regulations should be checked for details.
