    Dual head drill press

    Does anyone manufacture a drill press with 2 heads that can be independently located that go down at the same time? I am manufacturing wood products and need to put 2 pilot holes in a board at a time. The holes are offset from each other by approximately 7" apart on the X axis and 1" apart on the Y axis.

    Thanks,
    Kirk

    3 options:

    1. Gang press (one table, multiple heads, can probably buy one for scrap price).

    2. Multi-spindle drill head (try ebay) which can be attached to your existing spindle.

    3 Drill units - individual slide and spindle that can be mounted to a base to make a special machine. I'd look for a couple used pneumatic units you could control with a valve.
