Built for production drilling, assembly work, and industrial maintenance, the Ingersoll Rand 6AMST6 Pistol Grip Air Drill combines 0.40 HP of pneumatic power with 4.8 ft-lb of stall torque for controlled drilling when the bit encounters resistance. Its 1,500 RPM free speed supports efficient drilling, while the 3/8" bit holder capacity accommodates commonly used tooling for fabrication, repair, and production tasks.
The drill requires 25 CFM of air, an important consideration when matching the tool to a shop compressor and air supply system. Its pistol-grip configuration provides familiar handheld control, making the 6AMST6 a practical choice for repetitive drilling at production stations, maintenance benches, and fabrication work areas.

Tech Tip: To increase tool performance, extend tool life and lessen repair costs use it with a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator (FRLs)
Made in USA: ![]()
Applications:
- Industrial production and assembly operations requiring repetitive drilling with a handheld pneumatic tool.
- Plant maintenance and MRO work involving general drilling, repair, and equipment servicing.
- Metal fabrication shops performing drilling operations with compatible 3/8" capacity tooling.
- Automotive and equipment service environments that use compressed-air tools for routine drilling tasks.
- Professional workshops with an appropriately sized compressed-air system and a need for a pistol-grip drill configuration.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the bit holder capacity of the Ingersoll Rand 6AMST6?
A: The 6AMST6 has a 3/8" bit holder capacity. Tooling should remain within the capacity and compatibility limits specified by Ingersoll Rand. - Q: How fast does the 6AMST6 air drill run?
A: The specified speed is 1,500 RPM. This speed makes the drill suitable for general drilling and repetitive production tasks when paired with appropriate tooling and workpiece materials. - Q: What type of drill is the 6AMST6?
A: It is a pneumatic pistol-grip drill. Unlike an inline or angle drill, the pistol-grip configuration positions the handle below the tool body for conventional handheld operation. - Q: Can the 6AMST6 be used for industrial maintenance work?
A: Yes. Its pneumatic operation, pistol-grip configuration, 3/8" capacity, and 1,500 RPM speed make it applicable to compatible drilling tasks in maintenance, fabrication, and production settings.
