What we do around here...

Neither video at the link is super professional. One is done in house by
our Sr. guy here (the triple spindle tapping) and the other is done by a
customer (OEM) of ours.

If you are offended, scared, or allergic to stuff that might cause someone
to call me and ask about my product, simply ignore this post please. The
multiple spindle units can be mounted on drill press, CNC or milling
machines - or even on a direct motor mount and driven by air or hydraulic
stroke... So I figure this is close enough to on topic to pass the test for
many here. Plus, one of you saw these already and told me to post it so
I'll just use the "he told me to do it!" excuse anyway...

One question I was asked is whether the units can mill... The answer is
"that depends..." but probably not. The spindles are similar to a drill
press spindle where side loads are not suggested. some folks are doing it
in composites, but they are either rebuilding the bearing structure
regularly or using bushing guides for the tooling.

Or some groupings like these?

Joe, how hard would it be to make an drill-press adaptor with either
3,5 or 7 bits all of 5 mm size and 32 mm apart? Bradpoints.

LOL. I'll try to make something a bit more realistic next time. The
customer needed the video so we made it. It just happens to also be on
YouTube now. :)

All look "doable" as they say. What's the volume of parts?

Thanks for sharing Joe, I really do appreciate you showing "what you do".
I had an idea but was not certain.

That first video was a real nail biter. ;~)

Joe, how hard would it be to make an drill-press adaptor with either
3,5 or 7 bits all of 5 mm size and 32 mm apart? Bradpoints.

My minimum C-C at 5mm is .532" or 13.5 mm... So it shouldn't be a problem
as long as the tooling had a round shank for the collet to hold.

At 32 mm, I could hold a 1/2" or 13mm tool shank if you needed to.

Check these out:

http://www.multi-drill.com/multi-spindle-head-app11.htm

http://www.multi-drill.com/multi-spindle-head-app12.htm

Either could be mounted to a drill press of your choice as long as it has a
nohn-rotating quill (95% do).

Give me a call or send me a pattern(s) and I'll shoot you some better info.
