Side drilling made repeatable, without slowing production.

The Matrix is built for workshops that regularly drill panel edges for dowels, connectors, fittings and furniture hardware and want a more controlled alternative to manual marking and drilling.

Its compact format, servo-driven positioning and dedicated side-drilling setup make it particularly useful for kitchens, wardrobes, carcasses, modular furniture and shopfitting where repeated hole positions need to remain consistent from panel to panel.

Repeatable panel drilling

Automated positioning helps reduce the variation that can come from repeated manual measuring and drilling across production runs.
