Abstract: A drilling machine for working on longer workpieces, such as steel profiles having a fixed, non-variable frame. The machine includes a horizontal machine underpart arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis of the workpiece, two vertical side parts attached to the underpart ends and a horizontal upper beam attached on the side parts, and three drilling units each having a drilling spindle, a gear and a motor. The drilling units are shiftable in a plane parallel to the frame. The first drilling unit has a horizontal drilling spindle and is attached to a side part to the side of the workpiece; the second drilling unit has a second spindle arranged horizontally to the first drilling unit and on the opposing side of the workpiece; and, the third drilling unit has a vertical spindle and is attached to the upper beam. The second drilling unit has its horizontal drilling spindle on a horizontally driven carriage provided with lower wheels and upper wheels.
