Accurate Hole Patterns
Repeat shelf-pin, hinge and hardware drilling with CNC-controlled positioning instead of manual marking.
Explore Vitap Leonardo, Galileo, Kairos and K3 CNC drilling machines for accurate drilling, routing, channelling and multi-face panel machining.
Tuckwell Machinery supplies specialist CNC drilling machines for Australian cabinet makers, joiners and panel-processing workshops that want faster, more repeatable drilling and machining without relying on manual marking and setup.
The Vitap range spans compact drilling and routing machines through to advanced five-face and six-face panel machining systems using patented transport technology. Tuckwell can help compare the Leonardo, Galileo, Kairos and K3 around panel sizes, production volume, machining requirements and available floor space.
CNC drilling machines automate hole patterns, channels, routing and hardware preparation across cabinet and joinery panels, reducing manual layout work and improving consistency between parts.
Repeat shelf-pin, hinge and hardware drilling with CNC-controlled positioning instead of manual marking.
Selected Vitap machines combine drilling with routing, channelling, profiling and other panel-machining operations.
DDT and belt-driven transport systems move panels through machining while reducing repeated manual repositioning.
Models such as Kairos are designed to deliver CNC drilling and routing capability within a relatively compact footprint.
Compare four Vitap CNC configurations for different panel-processing requirements, from compact on-demand drilling through to multi-face machining and combined drilling, profiling and routing.
A compact CNC drilling centre designed to machine all six faces of a panel using a fixed working table, symmetric head and redesigned Dynamic Double Transport system.
The Galileo uses Vitap's patented DDT Double Dynamic Transport system with two coordinated grippers to position panels while helping protect visible faces during machining.
A compact, cost-effective CNC drilling and routing centre designed for flexible on-demand production with single-gripper panel handling and a modern PC-based interface.
The K3 combines cutting, profiling, drilling and routing in one CNC panel-machining centre using DDT double-gripper transport and Vitap's Bar Nesting System.
See the Leonardo, Galileo, Kairos and K3 operating across drilling, transport, routing and multi-face panel machining workflows.
This overview compares the key machine focus and known capabilities already published for the four models. Final specifications can vary with configuration and should be confirmed before ordering.

Common questions about Vitap CNC drilling machines, DDT transport and choosing between Leonardo, Galileo, Kairos and K3.
A CNC drilling machine is used to drill accurate holes, channels and hardware positions in wood, composite and cabinet panels. These machines help improve repeatability, reduce manual marking and speed up panel production.
DDT Double Dynamic Transport uses coordinated grippers to move panels smoothly and precisely. It is designed to improve positional control while helping protect visible panel faces during machining.
The Vitap Leonardo 6-SIDE is the model on this page designed for six-face panel machining.
The Vitap K3 combines cutting, profiling, drilling and routing and is described as a five-face CNC machining centre using DDT transport and Bar Nesting technology.
Some models on this page, including Galileo and K3, are described as operating without suction cups. This can simplify handling and reduce reliance on suction-based panel positioning.
Kairos is presented as a compact CNC drilling and routing centre with an approximate 5 m² footprint, making it relevant to workshops where floor space is a major consideration.
Yes. Tuckwell can help compare the four machines around panel sizes, production volume, required machining operations and available workshop space.
Yes. Tuckwell Machinery supplies and supports woodworking machinery Australia-wide and can assist with machine selection, installation, setup and operator training.
