Built for production drilling, assembly work, and precision hole-making, the Dotco 15LF081-38 Inline Drill combines a 0.4 HP pneumatic motor with a 5,300 RPM free speed to provide controlled drilling performance in metal, composites, and other industrial materials. Its inline configuration helps keep the drill aligned with the workpiece, making it well suited for repetitive operations where accuracy and balance are important.
Part of the Dotco 15LF Series, this drill features a 1/4" chuck, 1/4" drilling capacity, composite housing, and rear exhaust. The lightweight composite body helps reduce operator fatigue during extended use, while the rear exhaust directs discharged air away from the work area to improve visibility during drilling operations.
