When controlled drilling speed is essential for clean, accurate hole production, the Dotco 15LF082-38 Inline Drill delivers dependable pneumatic performance with a 0.4 HP motor and a 4,000 RPM free speed. The lower operating speed provides greater control when drilling larger holes or working with tougher materials. At the same time, the inline design keeps the spindle aligned with the workpiece for improved drilling accuracy during repetitive production tasks.
As part of the Dotco 15LF Series, this drill features a 1/4" chuck, a 1/4" maximum drilling capacity, a composite housing, and rear exhaust. Its lightweight construction helps reduce fatigue during extended use, while the rear exhaust directs discharged air away from the operator and finished surface to maintain a cleaner work area.
