Matrix Side-Drilling Machine
A compact CNC side-drilling solution for cabinetry, carcass production, flat pack furniture and panel processing.
The Matrix Side-Drilling Machine is designed to make horizontal drilling faster, cleaner and more consistent. It helps reduce manual marking, measuring and drilling while improving repeatability across cabinet, wardrobe, furniture and shopfitting work.
From manual marking to repeatable drilling.
The Matrix is built around a simple production need: get consistent side-drilled panels without slowing the workshop down.
Built for Faster, More Accurate Panel Drilling
The Matrix has been developed for workshops that need accurate side drilling for dowels, connectors, hinges and furniture fittings. It is particularly useful where repeatable panel processing is part of the daily workflow.
Instead of relying heavily on manual setup, the Matrix helps operators achieve consistent hole placement across production runs, making it a strong fit for kitchens, bedrooms, wardrobes, shopfitting and modular furniture.
Designed Around Practical Furniture Production
The Matrix brings together accurate side drilling, straightforward operation and a robust frame for workshops producing repeat panel-based work.
A focused machine for drilling-intensive workflows
For businesses producing cabinets, wardrobes, office furniture and modular assemblies, side drilling can become a slow manual process. The Matrix is designed to make that stage faster, more consistent and easier to control.
High-Speed Drilling
Designed for fast and accurate horizontal drilling, helping with dowel holes, fittings and repeat cabinet hardware positions.
Automatic Positioning
The machine helps align panels accurately, reducing the risk of human error during repeated production work.
Heavy-Duty Build
A robust steel frame gives the Matrix the strength needed for regular workshop use and ongoing production demands.
Touch Screen Control
The control setup is designed to make operation clear, allowing drilling parameters and repeat work to be handled efficiently.
Compact Footprint
At 3300mm long by 940mm wide, the Matrix is designed to fit into working production spaces without dominating the workshop.
