Cabinetry and Millwork Fabrication
Fabrication covers milling, assembling, storing and transporting cabinets and millwork: wood movement and moisture, panel products, machine guarding, joinery, glue and fasteners, formaldehyde labeling, and protecting work in storage and transit. CSLB weights this section at 24%. For worked examples, named traps and a full practice exam at CSLB's weights, see the PrepPass C-6 Cabinet, Millwork and Finish Carpentry study guide.
Wood moves with moisture
Wood shrinks below about 30% moisture content, about twice as much tangentially as radially and very little along the grain.
Table saw guarding
Hand-fed table saws need a hood, a spreader except for crosscutting, grooving, dadoing or rabbeting, kickback protection when ripping, and push sticks.
Formaldehyde labels
Cabinet shops that build finished goods from hardwood plywood, particleboard or MDF must label them.
