Copy routers and drilling machines compared

Five models compared by head configuration, working range and machining type. A practical guide based on the type of machining, volume and integration level.
Copy routers and drilling machines comparison for aluminum and PVC profiles

In this comparison we highlight the key differences to help you choose the machine best suited to your needs.

Idra: two heads for machining without rotating the profile

The Idra copy router features two independent heads — one vertical, one horizontal — that allow machining the profile on two faces without rotating it. Mist lubrication on both heads, two standard copy templates with 4 adjustable probes. The choice for those who need both vertical and horizontal machining in the same cycle, saving time and improving precision.

PM 103P: vertical milling with horizontal drilling unit

The PM 103P combines a vertical head for template milling with a 3-point horizontal drilling unit for handle or cremone bolt insertion. A standard copy template, mist lubrication, ability to work on template or mechanical stops. The choice for window workshops needing both vertical recesses and horizontal hardware drilling on the same machine.

PM 100S: standard vertical milling

The PM 100S is a manual electropneumatic copy router with template machining, adjustable mist lubrication and pneumatic clamps. One standard template, ability to work on template or mechanical stops. The choice for workshops with standard machining needs and limited volumes, seeking a reliable machine at an accessible investment.

Micro: compact and portable for on-site work

The Micro is the smallest and most portable copy router in the range: bench-mounted, supplied fully manual, with option to add pneumatic components. One standard template, adjustable probe. The choice for on-site installations, small workshops and occasional operations where portability matters more than production speed.

Bizeta 100: double spindle drilling machine

The Bizeta 100 is not a copy router but a double spindle drilling machine with adjustable spacing (28-170 mm) for multiple drilling on profile uprights. Manual or pneumatic head descent, two-hand start. The choice for those needing fast, repeatable multiple drilling on uprights — an operation that copy routers are not designed for.

How to choose

  • Vertical + horizontal machining on the same piece: Idra.
  • Vertical milling + hardware drilling: PM 103P.
  • Standard vertical milling, cost-effective: PM 100S.
  • Portable, on-site work: Micro.
  • Multiple drilling on uprights: Bizeta 100.

All models are manufactured in Italy with premium-grade steel, CE compliant, with dedicated technical support and 24/7 parts availability.
