Our machines
HOMAG DRILLTEQ V-310 vertical CNC
Cabinet parts drilled, grooved and routed on a vertical CNC while the 5-axis runs shaped work.
What it does
Most cabinet work is drilling and grooving, and it does not need a 5-axis machine. The DRILLTEQ V-310 holds the part upright and works on it from both faces and the edges, so hinge, shelf and dowel patterns, back grooves and cut-outs are done in one handling. Because it takes up very little floor space and runs alongside the big router, straightforward work keeps moving in a busy week — which is what keeps our lead times short.
Key capabilities
- Drilling patterns — Hinge, shelf and dowel holes in the faces and edges without turning the part by hand.
- Grooving and sawing — Back panel grooves and cut-outs taken in the same programme as the drilling.
- Routing at any angle — An interpolating C-axis means slots and pockets are not limited to along or across the board.
- Batches of any size — From a single replacement part to a repeat run of hundreds.
Where it sits
The one that keeps the volume moving
Flat cabinet work is drilled, grooved and routed here while the 5-axis handles shaped jobs. Running the two side by side is why a repeat trade order does not sit behind somebody's curved reception desk.
Why trades choose us
The workhorse behind most trade orders
Drilling, grooving and routing all day, which is what keeps repeat cabinet work quick and cheap.
Worked upright, both faces
The part is held vertically and drilled, grooved and sawn from either side without being turned by hand.
Frees the 5-axis
Flat cabinet work stays here, which keeps the 5-axis clear for the shaped jobs that actually need it.
Cheaper per part
Simpler set-up and faster cycles mean flat cabinet work is priced as flat cabinet work.

Straight answers
Questions about the HOMAG DRILLTEQ V-310 vertical CNC
How quickly can you run a batch?
Usually three to five working days from approved files, and quicker if the drawing is already on file from a previous order.
Can you machine board I supply?
Yes, provided it is flat and to size. We check it in and tell you before cutting if anything looks likely to move.
How it fits our process
One programme, start to finish
HOMAG DRILLTEQ V-310 vertical CNC is one stage of a run that stays in the same building, start to finish.
- Stage 1
Drawings and pricing
You send a DXF, a model or a sketch. We redraw if needed and price it in writing.
- Stage 2
Board cut to size
Sheets cut on the beam saw, nested for yield.
- Stage 3
Machined and drilled
Routed, drilled and grooved on the 5-axis and vertical CNC machines.
- Stage 4
Edged, veneered, assembled
Tape applied and pressed work bonded before the bench builds it.
- Stage 5
Sprayed and delivered
Finished in our booths, checked, wrapped and brought to site on our vans.
Next step
Put it to work on your job
Send drawings, a cutting list or photographs and we will price it in writing, usually within two working days. If it is quicker to talk it through, call 020 8944 2817 and you will get someone who knows the machines.
