h. Non-standard assembly time: workers delay<br />
assembling of the sliding rail, causing the<br />
water-based adhesive to crust and unable to<br />
reach the expected adhesive force. This caused<br />
someslats to become loose. Both ends of each<br />
small slat should be chamfered, workers trained,<br />
and templates should be applied for assembling<br />
so as to control theassembly time within<br />
three minutes.<br />
2. Distinction, and advantages and disadvantages of wood<br />
drying in traditional kilns and high temperature kilns are<br />
summarised in the following table:<br />
i. Non-square up and down sliding rail: the<br />
assembled sliding rail is skewed; hence, the rail<br />
is unable to slide up or down. Check the sliding<br />
rail at any time to ensure that the square<br />
diagonal tolerance of the sliding fence is below<br />
1mm after the fence is assembled.<br />

but can be used for match production
