Cleco 135DPV-14B-50 Non-Reversible Variable Speed Pistol Drill | 135DPV Series | 1,250 RPM | 1/2" Chuck | Rear Exhaust

Built for production drilling, assembly work, and MRO tasks where controlled hole starting matters, the Cleco 135DPV-14B-50 is a non-reversible variable speed pistol drill from the 135DPV Series. Its 1,250 RPM free speed gives technicians a balanced option for metal, composite, and general shop drilling where extremely high-speed tools may be too aggressive, while the 1/2" chuck provides capacity for larger drill bits within the tool’s rated range. The 0.7 HP pneumatic motor supplies steady air-powered output for repeated drilling cycles, and the rear exhaust helps direct discharged air away from the work surface.

The 135DPV-14B-50 uses variable speed trigger control for gradual starts and better feed control, plus calibrated governed speed control, which helps maintain consistent speed under changing load. Its aluminum housing keeps the tool durable without unnecessary bulk, while the pistol grip format suits bench work, fixture work, field maintenance, and general drilling, where a straight inline drill would be less natural to handle.

Type: Pneumatic Pistol Drill | Series: 135DPV Series | Model: 135DPV-14B-50 | Reversibility: Non-Reversible | Chuck Size: 1/2" | Chuck Type: Jacobs Chuck | Free Speed: 1,250 RPM | Power: 0.7 HP / 0.52 kW | Housing: Aluminum | Exhaust: Rear Exhaust | Air Pressure: 90 PSI / 620 kPa | Air Consumption: 20 CFM | Air Inlet: 1/4" NPT | Minimum Hose Size: 1/4" / 6 mm | Spindle Offset: 25/32" / 20 mm | Overall Length: 9.3" / 236 mm | Weight: 3.4 lbs / 1.54 kg

Features:

• Variable speed operation allows the user to feather the trigger for controlled starts, smoother bit engagement, and better handling on precision drilling work.
• Calibrated governed speed control helps keep tool speed consistent as load changes during drilling.
• 0.7 HP pneumatic motor provides the power needed for repeated drilling cycles in assembly, maintenance, and shop environments.
• 1/2" Jacobs® chuck accepts compatible drill bits for applications that require more capacity than smaller 3/8" drill models.
• Rear exhaust directs air away from the operator’s immediate work area and helps reduce air blast across chips or layout marks.
• Aluminum housing balances durability and manageable tool weight for repeated use during production or repair work.
• Standard equipment includes operating instructions, service manual, 3-jaw chuck, and chuck key.

Applications:

• Manufacturing and assembly lines — drilling repeat holes in parts, brackets, panels, and fixtures where speed control helps reduce bit walking.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — installing hardware, opening pilot holes, and completing repair drilling tasks around plant equipment.
• Aerospace and transportation shops — controlled drilling in aluminum, sheet metal, and component work where a compact pistol drill is practical.
• Fabrication and machine shops — general-purpose pneumatic drilling for workpieces held in vises, jigs, or bench fixtures.
• Garage and service work — air-powered drilling for repair benches, restoration projects, and jobs where a 1/2" chuck is preferred over a compact drill.

FAQs:

• Q: Is the Cleco 135DPV-14B-50 reversible?
  A: No. This model is a non-reversible pneumatic drill, so it is intended for forward drilling operations rather than backing out fasteners or reverse drilling tasks.
• Q: What does variable speed mean on this drill?
  A: Variable speed means the operator can control drill speed through the trigger instead of running only at one fixed speed. This helps when starting holes, working with different materials, or controlling feed pressure.
• Q: What air supply does this drill require?
  A: The tool is performance rated at 90 PSI / 620 kPa and uses a 1/4" NPT air inlet with a minimum 1/4" / 6 mm hose size. A clean, regulated, lubricated air supply is recommended for consistent operation.
• Q: What is the advantage of the 1/2" chuck?
  A: The 1/2" chuck gives the tool more bit-holding capacity than smaller 3/8" chuck drills. Match the bit, material, and feed pressure to the drill’s rated capacity and shop procedure.
• Q: Does this drill include the chuck and key?
  A: Yes. Standard equipment includes a 3-jaw chuck and chuck key, along with operating instructions and a service manual.
