# Pillar H49: Precision Horizontal Boring and Dowel Insertion Machine

## Pillar H49: Horizontal Bore and Dowel Insertion Machine

The H49 is a horizontal point-to-point CNC boring and dowel insertion machine built for case construction in cabinet and furniture manufacturing. A 49" working width and two pendulum zones let you load one part while the machine cycles another, and the CNC-controlled spindle completes each bore, glue injection, and 8 mm dowel insertion in under one second at standard 64 mm intervals.

### Key Features and Benefits

- **CNC Precision:** Automatically positions the spindle to bore holes and the inserter to inject glue (or water for pre-glued dowels) and insert dowels with pinpoint accuracy.

- **Quick Cycle Times:** Completes each bore, glue, and dowel insertion in less than 1 second when holes are spaced at 64 mm intervals, maximizing productivity.

- **Dual Work Zones:** Features two zones for pendulum processing, allowing you to load one part while machining another, minimizing downtime.

- **User-Friendly Interface:** A 15″ industrial touchscreen with intuitive graphics enables quick programming and easy operation, even for less experienced users.

- **Customizable Options:** Can be outfitted with additional horizontal and vertical spindles, horizontal dowel inserters, and hardware inserters for expanded capabilities.

- **Built for Durability:** Constructed with a welded main frame and high-quality components, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding shop environments.

### Applications

The H49 is ideal for:

- Case construction in cabinet and furniture manufacturing.

- Woodworking shops needing precise, efficient horizontal boring and dowel insertion.

- Operations seeking to shift boring and doweling tasks from CNC routers or point-to-point machines for faster production.
