Dotco 14CNL98-40 Non-Reversible Pneumatic Drill | 14CNL Series | 0.9 HP | 6,000 RPM | Rear Exhaust

Built for controlled drilling in production assembly, fabrication, aerospace, and industrial MRO environments, the Dotco 14CNL98-40 non-reversible pneumatic drill pairs a 0.9 HP air motor with a 6,000 RPM free speed for applications where more controlled cutting speed is preferred over ultra-high-speed drilling. As part of the 14CNL Series, this rear exhaust drill is suited for repetitive drilling tasks using properly matched bits and materials.

The non-reversible configuration keeps operation straightforward for dedicated forward-drilling work, while the rear exhaust helps route spent air away from the workpiece and operator. For shops comparing models within the 14CNL family, the 14CNL98-40 offers the same stated 0.9 HP power level as higher-speed versions, with a lower 6,000 RPM speed for applications requiring better control and reduced bit speed.

Made in USA:

Applications:

• Production drilling in metal fabrication and assembly operations.
• Aerospace and aircraft maintenance work using compatible drill bits.
• Industrial MRO drilling tasks on fixtures, panels, and equipment components.
• Manufacturing workstations where a non-reversible pneumatic drill is preferred.
• Garage, repair, and shop environments requiring controlled air drill speed.

FAQs:

• Q: Is the Dotco 14CNL98-40 reversible?
  A: No. This model is non-reversible and is intended for forward drilling applications.
• Q: When would I choose the 6,000 RPM version instead of a faster drill?
  A: A lower-speed drill is often selected when the application requires more control, larger compatible bits, or reduced cutting speed compared with very high-RPM drilling.
• Q: What does rear exhaust mean on this drill?
  A: Rear exhaust means discharged air exits toward the back of the tool rather than directly at the workpiece, helping reduce air blast near the drilling area.
• Q: Can this drill be used in production environments?
  A: Yes, when paired with the correct air supply, filtration, lubrication, and compatible tooling, it is suitable for repetitive pneumatic drilling tasks.
