Built for high-speed drilling in aerospace assembly, light metal fabrication, woodworking, and production environments, the Dotco 14CNL98-53 pneumatic drill pairs a 0.9 HP air motor with a fast 6,000 RPM free speed for efficient hole-making in smaller-diameter drilling applications. Its 14CNL Series pistol grip configuration gives operators familiar trigger control, while the rear exhaust directs spent air away from the work surface.
This non-reversible model is intended for dedicated forward drilling operations where speed and consistency matter. Supplied with a 1/2" chuck, the 14CNL98-53 gives shops the flexibility to run compatible drill bits while maintaining the compact handling expected from Dotco pneumatic drills.
