Key Features
13-Spindle BoringThe Maksiwa LBM.13 Manual Line Boring Machine drills 13 aligned holes in one pass, which cuts layout time and keeps shelf pin, hinge, and connector holes consistent from panel to panel. Repeatable PositioningStep-and-repeat indexing pins, scale position indicators, and adjustable flip stops help you set your start point once and keep boring patterns accurate on production runs. Built for Shop UseA lubricated aluminum head, heat-treated steel gears, stainless-steel spindles, and a 1 HP motor give this woodworking boring machine the kind of build that makes sense for regular bench-top production work.
Overview
The Maksiwa LBM.13 Manual Line Boring Machine is a 13-spindle bench-top line boring machine built for cabinet shops, carpenters, and woodworkers who need fast, repeatable hole drilling for shelves, hinges, and connectors. This is a line boring machine designed for production drilling in wood panels and casework parts. Model Number: LBM.13. If you are still laying out every shelf pin run by hand, this machine is the upgrade that saves time and tightens up your results.
The big reason this machine matters is simple: it drills a full line of holes at once instead of one at a time. With 13 spindles arranged at 32 mm center-to-center spacing, it matches a common cabinet system layout and helps you produce evenly spaced holes without constant measuring. Maksiwa also lists a 3450 RPM spindle speed, so the machine is set up to bore quickly while maintaining clean results in sheet goods and cabinet components. For repeated shelving runs or hardware prep, that means faster output and less chance of drift from hole to hole.
On the setup side, the LBM.13 gives you the controls that actually matter in day-to-day shop work. It uses an adjustable fence with 2 flip stops, plus step-and-repeat indexing pins and scale position indicators. In practical terms, you can establish your reference, lock it in, and keep moving through parts without starting from scratch every time. That is a big deal when you are boring matching left and right cabinet sides or repeating hole patterns across a batch of panels.
The machine itself is built more like production equipment than a light hobby tool. Maksiwa calls out a lubricated aluminum head, heat-treated steel gears, and stainless-steel spindles, backed by a 1 HP motor. Those are the parts that take the daily load on a machine like this, so the construction matters. The manual feed also gives the operator direct control over the boring stroke, which is useful when you want a consistent feel in melamine, plywood, or other finished panel materials where chip-out and over-travel can ruin a part.
For capacity, the LBM.13 has a maximum stroke depth of 2-1/2 inches and a 31 inch x 15-1/2 inch table. The expandable fence reaches up to 95-3/4 inches open, which gives you a lot more support when you are working with longer cabinet sides and wider parts. The listed 34 inch floor-to-table height and overall machine dimensions make it a stationary shop machine, not something you tuck away after every use. This is meant for a woodworking shop that wants repeatable production, not occasional one-off drilling.
Power is straightforward: 1 Phase, 110V, 10A, 60Hz. That matters because many smaller and mid-size shops can run it without special industrial power. Operation is manual, so there is no air setup required like on a pneumatic line boring machine. If you want line boring speed and pattern accuracy without adding compressed air equipment to the equation, this model keeps things simpler.
Maksiwa also includes a drill bits set, which gets the machine working right away, and the bit system allows removal of bits to create different drilling patterns when needed. That adds flexibility for shop-specific hardware layouts. Between the spindle layout, the fence system, and the indexing setup, this machine is clearly aimed at cabinet production, shelving systems, closet work, and furniture parts where hole placement needs to stay consistent across repeated jobs.
Who should buy it? The Maksiwa LBM.13 Manual Line Boring Machine makes the most sense for cabinetmakers, closet installers, millwork shops, and serious woodworkers doing repeat panel drilling. If your work includes shelf pin holes, hardware boring, or repeated connector holes in melamine and plywood, this machine earns its floor space. If you only drill a few holes once in a while, it is more machine than you need. But if repeated accuracy is the problem, this is exactly the kind of tool that fixes it.
At a Glance

Bore Full Patterns in One Setup
This machine is built to replace slow single-hole layout work with repeatable multi-hole drilling. For cabinet sides and shelving panels, that means less measuring, less setup time, and cleaner consistency from part to part.
- 13 spindles with 6 left and 7 right
- 32 mm distance between spindle centers for cabinet-style hole spacing
- Manual feed gives the operator direct control over the boring stroke
Dial In Repeatable Fence Settings
The fence system is what makes a line boring machine worth owning. Once your offsets are set, you can keep feeding matching parts through the machine without chasing measurements on every panel.
- Adjustable fence with 2 flip stops for repeat part placement
- Scale position indicators help verify settings at a glance
- Expandable fence length reaches 95-3/4 in open for longer workpieces
Made for Clean Cabinet Work
Good line boring is not just about speed. It is about hole placement that looks right and panels that stay usable. This machine is built for the kind of boring work where clean finished surfaces and repeat accuracy matter.
- Designed for drilling hardware, hinges, connectors, and shelf pin holes
- Manual operation helps control feed on melamine and finished panels
- Tool Nut and Maksiwa product copy both position it for cabinet and woodworking production
Built Like Shop Equipment
The materials and powertrain matter on a machine that is expected to run repeated boring cycles. Maksiwa built this one around the wear points that usually separate production tools from lighter-duty machines.
- Lubricated aluminum head
- Heat-treated steel gears and stainless-steel spindles
- 1 HP, 110V, 10A motor for bench-top production work

Pro Tip
When you are running repeated cabinet sides, set your start point with the indexing pins and leave the fence locked in. If your hole pattern changes, remove only the bits you do not need instead of rethinking the whole setup from scratch.

Why the Maksiwa LBM.13 Manual Line Boring Machine Makes Sense
This is the kind of machine that pays you back by killing repetitive layout work and making every cabinet side look like it came off the same setup, because it did.
- Who it’s for: Cabinet shops, closet builders, and serious woodworkers doing repeated boring in melamine, plywood, and casework parts.
- Why it stands out: The 13-spindle layout, 32 mm spacing, expandable fence, and indexing system are the features that actually move production along instead of just sounding good in a spec list.
- Worth knowing: This is a manual machine, not a pneumatic one, which is great if you want simpler setup on 110V power. It also takes up real shop space, so it is best for users who will actually use that production capacity.
