Drilling, doweling & grooving machine

Pillar Machine offers the HP5D horizontal point to point bore and dowel insertion and panel groove machining center, designed to machine parts used in TFL, TFM, paper wrapped, vinyl wrapped or thermofoil doors. The HP5D will CNC position a drill spindle, bore a hole, then CNC position the dowel inserter, inject glue or water (for pre-glued dowels), and insert the dowel into the hole. It will also cut a panel groove in the center section of the inside edge of the door stile and the entire inside edge of the door rail. There are two fixed zones and two pop up zones standard in the base model HP5D allowing for pendulum processing. The standard HP5D is equipped with a single horizontal drill and glue/dowel insertion unit that is set up for 8mm diameter dowels. The HP5D also has 4 work zones, standard, with the left and right fences removable for the processing of longer length panels.
