GMacros CAM module
GMacros Multi-Drill
Multi-drill module for GMacros CAM: groups the holes in the drawing by diameter, picks the matching drill or drilling head spindle itself and sets up the drilling operations in one go.
Works inside GMacros CAM; a GMacros CAM license is required separately.
Multi-drill module for GMacros CAM: groups the holes in the drawing by diameter and brings in the matching drill or drilling head spindle for each diameter by its T number; cabinet sides, shelf pins, dowels, minifix and hinge holes are ready to drill from a single screen. Works only inside GMacros CAM; a GMacros CAM license is required separately.
Description
Prepare drilled parts (cabinet sides, shelf pins, dowels, minifix, hinges) for machining from a single screen. The Multi-Drill screen lists the holes in the drawing by diameter; for each diameter it brings in the matching drill from the tool library or the spindle on the machine's drilling head, ready with its T number. Depth, through-drilling, peck drilling and dwell at the bottom are set group by group. On router machines with a drilling head you are asked before NC output whether the holes are drilled with the head or with the main spindle tools; on drilling machines only the head is used. Works only inside GMacros CAM; a GMacros CAM license is required separately. Horizontal drilling and saw grooving are not supported.

Which jobs?
Instead of setting up drilling operations one by one on drilled furniture parts, you set them once per diameter group:
- Automatic grouping by diameter
- The Multi-Drill screen lists the holes in the drawing by diameter; depth, through-drilling, peck drilling and dwell at the bottom are set separately for each group.
- Drill and drilling head spindle choice
- For each diameter the matching drill from the tool library or the spindle on the machine's drilling head comes ready with its T number.
- Router, drilling machine, router + drilling head
- On router machines with a drilling head you are asked before NC output whether the holes are drilled with the head or with the main spindle tools; on drilling machines only the head is used.
- Limits
- Horizontal drilling and saw grooving are not supported; the module sets up vertical drilling operations.

Frequently asked
Does it work in other CAM software?
No. Multi-Drill is a module that works only inside GMacros CAM; a GMacros CAM license is required separately. The GMacros CAM license opens it.
Can it drill horizontal holes or cut saw grooves?
No. Horizontal drilling and saw grooving are not supported; the module groups and drills vertical holes.
How is it licensed?
Time-limited (yearly) plans and a perpetual plan; the price comes from the plan you choose. One key is active on one computer at a time.
