Beginning of the standardisation
of the modern saw (1874).
Start of standardisaion within
industry and helped to improve
standard of products and
communication.Start of the Industrial Revolution (1760)
- Steam engines (1769) allowed for
the increase in power of machinery
and encouraged fast growth and
development of machinery.(1683) A range of planes were produced
to be used for a range of different
requirements. This was the start of the
development of the many different
types of planes we have todayInnovations in steel meant that
steel began to replace wood
as a primary structural material
(18th century onwards)Treade wood lathe (1884)
was first lathe powered by
steam/ electricity/ water.
Open the industry to mass
production.First circular saw (1777)
The development of the circular
saw was delayed due to
difficulty in making the bladeThe first Band saw ( 1808)
- William Newberry
The design remained
similar. While quality and
safety has increase, size
has decreased.Improving safety standards
lead to safety gaurds being
added to bandsaw. Represents
a shift in the industry to improve
safety standardsOriginal planning
machine (1779) faced
comercial difficulty and
the design was never
adapted. A new design
was later madeModern planner
developed (1802)Foresty Act, 2012
(enacted 2013)
- Ensured the long
term protection
of foresty and aimed
at reducing affect of
global illegal loggingWW2 puts additional
strain on forestry.
Encouraged industry growth
and a search for for effiecent
and effect logging methods as
well as wood construction.Manufactured materials
started to become favourable
and development increased.
Provided a use for by products
and helped to reduce waste.Richard Kegg with MIT
developed the first modern
CNC machine to increase
production of helicopter
blade for Cold War. Opened
the indusrty to automationCut to length systems
are introduced. They
increase efficency and
reduced opperating costs
despite higher initial
investment. Also reduced
defects and more
enviromentally friendly.
