Igishushanyo cyahumekewe n'ubugeni bw'ibikoresho by'Ubushinwa kandi bugahuza imiterere y'imiraba n'iy'uruziga kugira ngo bigire isura yoroshye kandi y'icyubahiro. Ibice bihuzwa hifashishijwe udutwi tw'ibyuma tumeze nk'ibimonyo (butterfly screws), naho bimwe muri byo bikoresha uburyo bwo guhuza binyuze mu myobo n'utuzitiro (mortise and tenon). Ibice bikatwa mu giti kiboneye hakoreshejwe ikoranabuhanga rya numerical control ryo gubaza no gukata, bigatuma imyanda y'ibikoresho igabanuka. Igikoni cy'ibitabo gishobora kwegeranywa no gusenywa n'amaboko, bityo umusaruro n'ubwikorezi bikaguma byoroshye. Ibyuma bitandukanya ibice (partitions) bituma ibitabo n'ibindi bintu bishobora gutondekwa no kubikwa neza.
