Built for controlled drilling where torque and accuracy matter more than maximum speed, the Dotco 14CNL98-38 Non-Reversible Pneumatic Drill pairs a 0.9 HP motor with a 6,000 RPM free speed for production drilling, assembly work, and industrial maintenance tasks. As part of the 14CNL Series, this rear exhaust pneumatic drill is suited for users who need steady air-powered performance in repetitive drilling operations without a reversing function.
The lower speed rating compared to higher-RPM models in the same series makes this drill a practical choice for applications that call for more controlled hole-making, larger drill sizes, or materials where excessive speed can reduce tool control. Its rear exhaust configuration helps direct spent air away from the work surface, reducing disturbance around chips, fixtures, and layout marks during production use.
Type: Pneumatic Drill | Series: 14CNL Series | Model: 14CNL98-38 | Operation: Non-Reversible | Power: 0.9 HP | Free Speed: 6,000 RPM | Exhaust: Rear Exhaust
Features:
- 0.9 HP pneumatic motor supports consistent drilling performance in production and maintenance environments.
- 6,000 RPM free speed provides controlled drilling for applications where slower speed is preferred over high-speed operation.
- Non-reversible operation keeps the tool focused on dedicated forward drilling tasks.
- Rear exhaust directs air away from the operator’s line of sight and the immediate work area.
- Air-powered construction supports repeated use when supplied with clean, properly regulated compressed air.
- 14CNL Series configuration fits buyers comparing Dotco drills by speed, exhaust direction, and power rating.
Made in USA: 
Applications:
- Production drilling in industrial manufacturing and assembly cells.
- Metal fabrication tasks requiring controlled drilling speed.
- MRO departments performing repeated hole-making and repair work.
- Aerospace and component manufacturing where pneumatic tools are commonly used on fixtures and workstations.
- General shop drilling where a non-reversible air drill is preferred.
FAQs:
- Q: Is the Dotco 14CNL98-38 reversible?
A: No. This model is a non-reversible pneumatic drill intended for forward drilling applications. - Q: Why choose the 6,000 RPM version instead of a higher-speed drill?
A: A 6,000 RPM drill gives the operator more control for applications where very high speed is not required, especially when drilling larger holes or working with materials that benefit from slower cutting speeds. - Q: What does rear exhaust mean?
A: Rear exhaust means discharged air exits toward the back of the tool, helping keep air movement away from the work surface and operator’s immediate drilling area. - Q: What air setup should be used with this drill?
A: Use clean, dry, regulated compressed air and follow the manufacturer’s air pressure and lubrication recommendations. Air consumption, inlet size, and hose size should be verified from the catalog before publishing.
