Cleco 135DPV-14B-51 Pistol Drill Non-Reversible Variable Speed | 135DPV Series | 1,250 RPM | 3/8" Chuck | Rear Exhaust

Built for controlled drilling in production, maintenance, and repair environments, the Cleco 135DPV-14B-51 is a non-reversible variable speed pistol drill from the 135DPV Series. Its 1,250 RPM free speed provides a practical balance for drilling into metal, composite, plastic, and general shop materials without moving into the higher-speed range used for very small holes. The 3/8" chuck suits common drill bit sizes used in assembly and MRO work, while the 0.7 HP pneumatic motor gives the tool steady air-powered output for repeated drilling cycles.

The 135DPV-14B-51 uses variable speed trigger control, which lets the operator feather the drill speed for cleaner starts and better feed control. Calibrated governed speed control helps maintain consistent speed as load changes during drilling. The pistol grip configuration gives technicians a natural hand position for bench, fixture, and field work, while rear exhaust directs discharged air away from the work surface to help keep chips, layout marks, and workpiece visibility under better control.

Features:

• Variable speed operation allows gradual starts and better feed control when beginning holes or working with different materials.
• Calibrated governed speed control helps maintain consistent drilling speed as tool load changes.
• 0.7 HP pneumatic motor supports repeated drilling cycles in production, maintenance, and shop environments.
• 3/8" 3-jaw chuck accepts common drill bit sizes used for general-purpose drilling and assembly work.
• Rear exhaust helps route discharged air away from the workpiece, reducing air blast across chips, coolant, or layout marks.
• Aluminum housing provides a durable tool body while keeping weight manageable for repeated handling.
• Standard equipment includes operating instructions, service manual, 3-jaw chuck, and chuck key.

Applications:

• Manufacturing and assembly — drilling repeat holes in brackets, panels, covers, and fixtures where variable speed helps reduce bit walking.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO — performing repair drilling, pilot holes, and hardware installation around plant equipment.
• Aerospace and transportation shops — controlled drilling in aluminum, sheet metal, and component work where a compact pistol drill is useful.
• Fabrication and machine shops — general pneumatic drilling at benches, vises, jigs, and workholding stations.
• Garage and service work — air-powered drilling for restoration, repair benches, and general shop tasks using compatible 3/8" shank tooling.

FAQs:

• Q: Is the Cleco 135DPV-14B-51 reversible?
  A: No. This model is non-reversible, meaning it is intended for forward drilling operations rather than reverse drilling or backing out fasteners.
• Q: What is the difference between the 135DPV-14B-51 and the 135DPV-14B-50?
  A: The 135DPV-14B-51 is supplied with a 3/8" chuck, while the 135DPV-14B-50 is the related 1/2" chuck version. Choose the 3/8" model for common drill bit sizes and the 1/2" model when larger chuck capacity is required.
• Q: What does variable speed do on this drill?
  A: Variable speed lets the operator control drill speed through the trigger. This is helpful when starting holes, drilling thinner materials, or adjusting feed pressure to match the workpiece.
• 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 air hose. Use clean, regulated, lubricated air for consistent tool performance.
• Q: Does this drill include the chuck and chuck key?
  A: Yes. Standard equipment includes a 3-jaw chuck and chuck key, along with operating instructions and a service manual.
