The DRILLTEQ C-800 is a throughfeed drilling machine designed for efficient and precise drilling operations on wooden workpieces. Previously known as the Drilling system BST 800, it delivers reliable performance for component manufacturing.
The DRILLTEQ C-800 is a high-precision throughfeed CNC drilling machine purpose-built for automated hole production in wooden components and furniture elements. As a successor to the BST 800 drilling system, it combines consistent drilling accuracy with continuous material flow, eliminating manual positioning and enabling sustained production runs without operator intervention between cycles. The machine accommodates workpieces from 250mm to 3,500mm in length and 100mm to 1,050mm in width, with material thicknesses ranging from 15mm to 60mm—spanning applications from thin veneered panels to solid structural components. Its throughfeed architecture means workpieces move continuously through the drilling zone, maximizing cycle efficiency and throughput in high-volume scenarios. The machine's positioning accuracy and repeatable hole placement make it suitable for multi-hole drilling patterns required in furniture frames, knock-down components, and case goods production. The DRILLTEQ C-800 is designed for medium to industrial production environments processing 50+ units daily. It serves furniture manufacturers, cabinet shops scaling beyond manual operations, and component suppliers requiring consistent hole placement across batches of similar parts. The machine is most effective when drilling identical or near-identical patterns into standardized workpiece dimensions—typical in modular furniture, ready-to-assemble systems, and volume component supply. Within the throughfeed drilling category, the C-800's working envelope and thickness capacity position it as a mid-range solution: larger than benchtop or single-spindle machines but more compact and accessible than full-scale production centers. It represents an economical step toward CNC automation for shops currently relying on manual drilling templates or basic production machines, without the capital investment of multi-function machining centers.
