Anyone here using one on a drill press or other machine to increase production? I'm looking for some user-oriented information as I design a few press releases for the woodworking industries magazines, etc.

I use two at work. One is a huge pneumatic machine. Fast, if set up right. Generally for large production runs. The other is a small hand lever machine. Probably couldn't cost more than $700-$800. Might not be worth the price of admission for one kitchen, but if a person were inclined to build a dozen kitchens and baths then it would be indespensable. Rockler sells a small jig for hand drilling individual holes. Much slower but for a one man shop with only occasional use it might be just the ticket.

CLIP Rick,
Thanks for the response. What can you tell me about the larger one? Is it mounted to a pneumatic drilling machine and/or does it have a brand name?
What I'm looking to do (other than expand my knowlege base) is learn about what people are using and what they do with them. I'm familair with a lot of different brands out there (as I compete with them) but I'm not sure how a lot of folks are using the units.
I know we have customers doing hinge holes all at once as well as other applications - and I'm including those write-up sin the magazine piece we are doing, but if there are other applications, I'd love to know aobut them.
A great example of something I had not considered is a new customer of ours stacking up a half dozen skateboard bodies and drilling the 8 holes needed to mount trucks(?) all at once. That's one step (two machines) doing 48 holes at once. I'll probably add that to the piece as well if I can make it readable for the magazine's audience.
Anyhow... I'd love to know how many spindles, brand, application, etc.
