Built for controlled drilling in tight-access assemblies, the Dotco 15L1487-36 Right Angle Pneumatic Drill gives operators a compact 90-degree drilling option for work areas where a straight or pistol-grip drill cannot fit. Part of the 15-14 Series, this pneumatic drill uses a 0.3 HP motor to support production drilling, maintenance work, and fixture-based operations where consistent air-powered performance is required. Its 1,500 RPM free speed provides slower, more controlled rotation than higher-speed models, making it useful when accuracy, hole control, or material conditions call for reduced speed.
The composite housing helps reduce tool weight while supporting comfortable handling during repetitive use, and the rear exhaust directs spent air away from the workpiece and operator. For aerospace, manufacturing, MRO, and assembly teams working around obstructions, the 15L1487-36 offers a compact right-angle format with the speed control needed for precision drilling tasks.
Type: Right Angle Pneumatic Drill | SKU: 15L1487-36 | Series: 15-14 Series | Power: 0.3 HP | Free Speed: 1,500 RPM | Housing: Composite | Exhaust: Rear
Features:
- Right-angle drill head reaches into confined spaces, fixtures, machinery, and structural assemblies where standard drill bodies may not fit.
- 0.3 HP pneumatic motor supports consistent drilling performance for production and maintenance applications.
- 1,500 RPM free speed provides controlled rotation for drilling operations that benefit from lower-speed handling.
- Composite housing helps reduce overall tool weight while maintaining durability for industrial use.
- Rear exhaust directs air away from the drilling point to help keep the work area clearer.
- Compact configuration supports improved maneuverability during repetitive drilling in restricted locations.
Made in USA: 
Applications:
- Aerospace production and maintenance drilling around ribs, brackets, panels, and confined structures.
- Industrial assembly work where drilling access is limited by fixtures, frames, or nearby components.
- Plant maintenance and MRO tasks involving equipment housings, guards, and machinery interiors.
- Metal fabrication and repair operations requiring a compact right-angle pneumatic drill.
- General shop use where lower-speed air drilling improves control in tight work areas.
FAQs:
- Q: When should I choose a 1,500 RPM right-angle drill?
A: A 1,500 RPM drill is useful when the job calls for more controlled drilling speed, especially in confined areas or applications where accuracy matters more than maximum speed. - Q: What is the benefit of the right-angle head?
A: The 90-degree head lets the operator drill around obstructions, inside assemblies, and close to surrounding structures where a standard drill body would be too long or awkward. - Q: What does rear exhaust mean on this drill?
A: Rear exhaust routes spent air out the back of the tool instead of directly onto the workpiece, helping reduce air blast at the drilling location. - Q: Is this drill suitable for production use?
A: Yes, this type of Dotco pneumatic drill is commonly used in production and industrial assembly settings when the available specifications match the material, hole size, and air supply requirements.
