Ingersoll Rand 8245-B45-2 is a Bant-A-Matic Series Self-Feed Air Drill designed for automated and fixture-mounted drilling applications where controlled feed and retract movement are required. This model combines a 0.25 HP (.20 kW) pneumatic motor with a 4,400 RPM free speed and single gear reduction. The -2 configuration provides a 2 in. (51 mm) stroke, making it suitable for repetitive drilling operations that require controlled spindle travel. The manufacturer's catalog identifies the B45 series for 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) capacity, steel.
The Bant-A-Matic self-feed system uses compressed air for both spindle rotation and feed/control functions. Its double-acting air piston provides smooth, controlled forward and retract strokes, while needle-valve controls allow adjustment of the forward and retract strokes. A built-in four-way valve enables manual or remote operation, and the adjustment screw provides infinite stroke-length settings. Ball-bearing spindle support provides precision and long service life, while the damped exhaust allows a quieter work environment.

NON-RETURNABLE. MADE TO ORDER.
Applications:
- Production drilling — performing repetitive holemaking operations where controlled pneumatic feed and retract movement are required.
- Fixture-mounted machining — integrating the self-feed drill into dedicated drilling fixtures and production equipment.
- Metal fabrication — drilling compatible steel components within the manufacturer's stated capacity.
- Secondary machining — adding repeatable drilling cycles to manufacturing processes without continuous manual feed control.
- Automated drilling systems — using the four-way valve for manual or remote operation where the installation supports it.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the free speed of the 8245-B45-2?
A: The 8245-B45-2 has a 4,400 RPM free speed. - Q: What is the motor power?
A: This Bant-A-Matic self-feed drill uses a 0.25 HP (.20 kW) pneumatic motor. - Q: What does the “-2” suffix indicate?
A: The -2 configuration identifies the 2 in. (51 mm) stroke version of the 8245-B45 series. - Q: What does single gear reduction mean?
A: It identifies the single gear reduction configuration used in the spindle drive of this 4,400 RPM model. - Q: What is the thrust rating?
A: The catalog specifies 90 lb (400 N) thrust at 90 PSI. - Q: What is the standard chuck capacity?
A: The standard chuck capacity is 1/4 in. (6.4 mm). - Q: What is the nominal drilling capacity?
A: The B45 series is identified by the manufacturer as having a 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) capacity in steel. The detailed catalog table also lists material-specific nominal capacities for the B45 series; these vary by material and should not be treated as a universal maximum hole size. - Q: Can the drill be operated remotely?
A: Yes. The built-in four-way valve enables both manual and remote operation.
