The Scheer DB 3 is a wood drilling machine — sometimes referred to as a line boring machine or multi-spindle drill — designed for the precise drilling of holes in wooden workpieces, commonly used in furniture and cabinet manufacturing. Scheer is a German manufacturer with a long-standing presence in the woodworking machinery sector, known for producing reliable, production-oriented equipment for the furniture industry.
This particular example, built in 1983 and carrying machine number 83120, is fitted with two drilling beams and a total of 25 spindles, making it well suited to high-throughput operations requiring multiple simultaneous boreholes. The spindles are arranged on a 32 mm grid — the industry-standard pitch widely used in shelf-pin and cabinet construction — and drilling is performed from above. The working width is approximately 800 mm (more precisely 768 mm), and the drilling depth reaches around 100 mm per stroke, giving the machine good versatility across typical panel thicknesses and joinery requirements.
The machine is equipped with two hydraulic feeder brakes, which control the feed rate and help ensure consistent drilling depth and quality. For workpiece positioning, it includes a guide fence of approximately 2,500 mm in length, three pendulum fences, and three clamps, providing a comprehensive setup for repeatable and accurate stock positioning. Four drilling programmes are available, allowing operators to switch between different hole-pattern configurations without extensive manual adjustment.
The footprint of the machine is approximately 1,400 mm × 1,300 mm, with a working height of around 1,800 mm, and the unit weighs approximately 1,000 kg. It is located in 97447 Gerolzhofen, Germany, and is available free on truck, unpackaged. The machine is sold in its current, as-seen condition, without overhaul, warranty, or guarantee.
