Dotco 14CNL97-40 Non-Reversible Pneumatic Drill | 14CNL Series | 0.9 HP | 500 RPM | Rear Exhaust

Built for lower-speed drilling where control matters more than high RPM, the Dotco 14CNL97-40 non-reversible pneumatic drill delivers 0.9 HP and a controlled 500 RPM free speed for drilling larger holes, working with tougher materials, or maintaining better bit control during production tasks. Its 14CNL Series configuration supports industrial drilling work where consistent forward rotation and steady pneumatic power are required.

The rear exhaust directs discharged air away from the work area, helping reduce chip disturbance around the drilling point. As a compressed-air tool, this drill is well suited for manufacturing, aerospace assembly, fabrication, and MRO environments where pneumatic tools are preferred for repeatable performance across extended shifts.

Type: Pneumatic Drill | Series: 14CNL Series | Model: 14CNL97-40 | Operation: Non-Reversible | Power: 0.9 HP | Free Speed: 500 RPM | Exhaust: Rear

Features:

• 0.9 HP pneumatic motor provides steady power for controlled drilling operations.
• 500 RPM free speed supports lower-speed drilling where bit control and torque feel are important.
• Non-reversible operation is suited for dedicated forward-drilling production work.
• Rear exhaust helps move spent air away from the drilling point and operator position.
• Pneumatic design supports repetitive use in manufacturing, maintenance, and fabrication environments.
• 14CNL Series construction fits applications requiring a production-focused Dotco drill platform.

Made in USA:

Applications:

• Aerospace and aircraft assembly drilling where slower speed helps maintain hole control.
• Metal fabrication tasks involving larger drill bits or tougher work materials.
• Production drilling in fixtures, jigs, and assembled components.
• Industrial maintenance and repair work requiring steady pneumatic drilling performance.
• Machine shop and manufacturing environments using compressed-air tool systems.

FAQs:

• Q: When should I choose the 500 RPM version instead of a faster drill?
  A: A 500 RPM drill is typically better when lower speed and better control are needed, such as drilling larger holes or working in tougher materials.
• Q: What does non-reversible mean on this drill?
  A: Non-reversible means the drill runs in the forward direction only. It is intended for drilling operations where reverse rotation is not required.
• Q: Why does rear exhaust matter?
  A: Rear exhaust directs spent air away from the work surface, which can help keep chips and dust from blowing across the drilling point.
• Q: Should this drill be used with an FRL?
  A: Yes. A properly sized Filter-Regulator-Lubricator helps provide clean, regulated, lubricated air to support tool performance and service life.
