Built for repetitive production drilling and fixture-mounted machining, the Ingersoll Rand 8245-203-3 is a Bant-A-Matic Series Self-Feed Air Drill with a 0.25 HP pneumatic motor and 19,000 RPM free speed. Its single gear reduction and high spindle speed suit small-diameter drilling operations, while the -3 configuration provides a 3 in. (76 mm) stroke for applications requiring extended feed travel. The model is listed with a 3/16 in. capacity and is intended for controlled, repeatable drilling rather than ordinary hand-held drilling.
The Bant-A-Matic self-feed arrangement uses a double-acting air piston to control forward and retract strokes. Needle-valve controls allow adjustment of the feed and retract strokes, while the adjustment screw provides infinite stroke-length settings. A built-in four-way valve allows manual or remote operation, and ball-bearing spindle support provides controlled spindle guidance. The manufacturer specification group lists 90 lb (400 N) thrust at 90 PSI, 1.5 ft³/cycle (42 L/cycle) air consumption at working speed, a 77 dB(A) sound level, and a 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) standard chuck capacity.

- Single gear reduction provides the drive configuration specified for the 19,000 RPM model.
- The double-acting air piston provides smooth, controlled forward and retract strokes.
- Needle-valve controls allow adjustment of the forwarding and retracting strokes.
- The adjustment screw provides infinite stroke-length settings.
- The built-in four-way valve permits both manual and remote operation.
- Ball-bearing spindle support provides precision spindle guidance.
- The muffled exhaust allows quieter pneumatic operation.
- The 1/4 in. standard chuck accommodates compatible drill tooling within the manufacturer's specified capacity.
NON-RETURNABLE. MADE TO ORDER.
Applications:
- Production drilling — performing repetitive drilling cycles where controlled pneumatic feed and retract movement are required.
- Fixture-mounted machining — integrating the drill into dedicated fixtures where a 3 in. stroke provides the required feed travel.
- Secondary machining — adding repeatable drilling operations to production equipment without continuous manual feed control.
- Metalworking — performing small-diameter drilling operations within the manufacturer's material-specific capacity ratings.
- Automated drilling equipment — using the four-way valve for manual or remote operation in suitable pneumatic control systems.
