Startech CN V
Solid Wood Processing — SCM Group
Advanced CNC drilling machine with fixed work table and mobile workpiece capability. Enables vertical drilling on panel surfaces and horizontal drilling operations.
The Startech CN V is a CNC drilling centre engineered for precision solid wood processing and panel machining operations. It combines multi-axis spindle technology with integrated cutting capability to handle both vertical and horizontal drilling workflows on wooden panels ranging from 300×90 mm to 3000×900 mm. The machine delivers a mid-range solution for shops requiring repeatable accuracy without full-scale industrial footprint.
The machine's architecture centres on a distributed spindle system: 2 spindles on the X-axis, 2 on the Y-axis, and 7 on the Z-axis (with shared positioning logic), enabling simultaneous or sequential operations across multiple drilling points. The integrated fixed blade operates at 5700 RPM with a 125 mm diameter, providing crosscutting capability in the X direction. X-Y axis traverse speed reaches 20 m/min, balancing cycle time efficiency with precision. All spindles operate at 4460 RPM with 2.2 kW motor power, suitable for standard wood drilling and light routing tasks in solid wood stock up to 50 mm thickness.
This machine serves medium-sized woodworking workshops and small-to-medium production facilities processing cabinet components, furniture parts, and architectural millwork. It targets operations requiring coordinated multi-point drilling, edge processing, and intermediate production volumes where manual or single-spindle approaches become inefficient. The fixed-table design with mobile workpiece handling optimizes for batch processing of standardized panel geometries.
Within its category, the Startech CN V distinguishes itself through multi-axis spindle distribution rather than single-head complexity, reducing setup time for variant part families while maintaining the precision necessary for face-frame joinery, dowel drilling, pocket operations, and edge profiling typical of mid-volume furniture and cabinet production.

Applications
panel processing
industrial workshopPanel processing operations for laminated or veneer-faced substrates benefit from high-speed drilling and edge treatment in a single machine. The machine handles panels up to 3000 mm length and 900 mm width, supporting batch drilling for shelf pin holes, corner block pockets, and hardware mounting in knock-down furniture and commercial cabinetry production at mid-to-high volumes.
architectural millwork
medium workshopCustom architectural elements—panelled doors, window components, detailed trim assemblies—require precise multi-point drilling for assembly hardware and joinery. The Startech CN V's distributed spindle configuration and fixed-blade cutting capability support both drilling and edge-processing workflows on individual or batched components, enabling small-run customization with CNC repeatability.
cabinet making
medium workshopThe Startech CN V excels at processing cabinet box components, drilling coordinated dowel holes, pocket locations, and hinge cups across panels up to 3000×900 mm. Multi-axis spindle positioning enables simultaneous operations on face and edge surfaces in single setups, reducing handling and improving hole alignment tolerances critical to cabinet assembly. Typical output: 20-40 cabinet sets per shift using nested panel programs.
furniture production
medium workshopFurniture component production—table aprons, chair parts, panel frames—benefits from the machine's ability to drill multiple dowel or screw-pocket patterns in a single pass. The 20 m/min X-Y speed minimizes cycle time between parts, while the 7 Z-axis spindles handle complex drilling sequences (top, bottom, edge) without part repositioning. The integrated blade adds crosscutting for notches and dados on solid wood stock.
