What is your budget on this?

I have the capability to build just about anything if I know what to build, however on this one I am lost on the design.
I don't think OSHA or my insurance would like me to have electric drills taped to a board so what I need to do is improve on the same idea.
I would like to keep it as cheap as possible, but 10,000 would be a good start.
The method I use now is a hand drill and temporary employees. Cost per hole varies with what I have to pay the employee and how much interest the employee has in actually working.
I would still have a labor cost using a machine but should cut the time it takes to do an order of pipe. Handling, packaging, and placing the pipe in and out of the machine or fixture wouldn't change but the time it takes to drill the holes would drastically change.
