Hey guys I'm new here, I build a lot of cable rail posts for my business, and I end up drilling a lot of holes(sometimes thousands per job) in 2x2 aluminum tubing and sometimes stainless. If I could make, or buy a machine that could drill them for me, that would speed up production time and increase profitability,

It really only needs to have 2 axis, I don't know whey to start, could I use a milling machine? Or could I build something easily enough,

Also how would I program it, would I use something like Mach 3 to run it? And I would need some sort of cam software,


I currently own a plasma table, and am somewhat familiar with the cad cam process.



And ideas or advice would be appreciated, thanks!
