Through-feed Drilling Machines
Modern CNC through-feed drilling machines for top precision
All boreholes are created at once
Through-feed drilling machines are used to create boreholes in panel-shaped wood building materials or wood substitute materials. The pattern of the holes is created depending on the necessary screws and wooden pegs. Through-feed drilling machines are commonly used in an assembly line for the furniture manufacturing industry.

Mostly used in furniture manufacturing
Quality Great offers Personalized By switching out drilling equipment and drilling heads, it is possible to change the diameter and pattern of the holes. The through-feed drilling machine is made for drilling holes on mounting plates, drawer runners, fittings and connectors. This machine can be used to create holes for dowels, handle boards and locks. Additionally, they are suitable for the creation of base notches and nuts for back walls and the front of drawers. The flexibility of a through-feed drilling machine is good enough for the demands of commission-based production and mass production, and is also suitable for smaller and medium sized operations. Modern and compact CNC-operated machines deliver the most accurate outcomes and need very little set-up time.
MAW NOTTMEYER Through-feed drilling machine in use
From a classic brace to a through-feed drilling machine
The electric drilling machine was one of the first electric machines. In 1889 the electric engineer Arthur Arnot invented a stationary drilling machine for the work conducted in Australian mines. Wilhelm Emil Fein invented the first electric hand-held drilling machine. High-precision drilling became possible through the securing of drilling machines on fixed mounts. The use of a through-feed drilling machine means that all necessary drills can be used on one workpiece in the same operation.
Identical results, even with large quantities
The through-feed drilling machine is mainly used in the manufacturing of furniture. On the one side, there are often large quantities of the same piece that need to be processed. On the other side, the machine needs to be adjusted to fit the different workpieces.
The through-feed drilling machine is also suitable for smaller quantities with reoccurring hole patters, like steps for a staircase. By using a through-feed drilling machine, one saves time and manages to maintain matching results that guarantee the highest accuracy for further processing.
