The Hettich Blue MAX 19 is a used wood drilling machine — sometimes referred to as a multi-spindle boring machine or line boring machine — designed for precision drilling operations in wood and panel-based materials. Hettich is a well-known German manufacturer specialising in furniture fittings and the machinery and tooling used in their production, serving the woodworking and furniture manufacturing industries worldwide.
This machine is built around a configuration of 16 spindles per row, enabling it to drill multiple holes in a single pass with consistent spacing. The drill pitch is set at 32 mm, the industry-standard increment used throughout cabinet and furniture production, ensuring compatibility with conventional hardware fitting systems. Complementing the row drilling capability, the machine is also equipped with five horizontal spindles, allowing simultaneous face and edge drilling without repositioning the workpiece.
A dedicated cup hinge drilling head is included, making the machine well suited to boring the blind holes required for concealed cup hinges — one of the most common operations in flat-pack and custom furniture assembly. The drilling unit is of the swivelling type, providing additional flexibility in the angle and orientation of drilling operations. A pneumatic hold-down device is fitted to secure the workpiece firmly during drilling, contributing to accuracy and repeatability across production runs.
Total power consumption is rated at 2.2 kW. The machine dates from 1992, is offered in used condition, and is located in Germany, Indiana.
