Ingersoll Rand 8245-B8-3 is a Bant-A-Matic Series Self-Feed Air Drill built for repetitive production drilling and fixture-mounted machining where controlled spindle feed and retract movement are required. This model combines a 0.25 HP (.20 kW) pneumatic motor with a 900 RPM free speed and double gear reduction, providing a lower-speed spindle configuration for controlled drilling. The -3 version provides a 3 in. (76 mm) stroke, while the manufacturer lists a 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) nominal drilling capacity in SAE 1213 steel.
The Bant-A-Matic self-feed system uses a double-acting air piston for controlled 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 enables manual or remote operation, making the drill suitable for integration into production fixtures and automated pneumatic systems. Ball-bearing spindle support provides controlled spindle guidance, and the muffled exhaust helps reduce operating noise. The manufacturer specification lists 90 lb (400 N) thrust, 1.5 ft³/cycle (42 L/cycle) air consumption at working speed, and a 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) standard chuck capacity.

Applications:
- Production drilling — performing repetitive holemaking operations 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 necessary spindle travel.
- Metal fabrication — drilling SAE 1213 steel within the manufacturer's stated nominal capacity.
- Secondary machining — adding repeatable drilling cycles to production equipment without continuous manual feed control.
- Automated drilling systems — using the four-way valve for manual or remote operation in suitable pneumatic control systems.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the free speed of the 8245-B8-3?
A: The 8245-B8-3 has a 900 RPM free speed. - Q: What does the “-3” suffix indicate?
A: The -3 configuration identifies the 3 in. (76 mm) stroke version of the 8245-B8 model family. - Q: What does double gear reduction mean?
A: It identifies the double gear reduction configuration used in the spindle drive of this 900 RPM model. - Q: What is the nominal drilling capacity?
A: The manufacturer lists a nominal 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) capacity in SAE 1213 steel. The B8 series also has manufacturer-listed capacities of 3/32 in. (2.4 mm) in Type 304 stainless steel, 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) in 2024-T4 aluminum, and 5/16 in. (7.9 mm) in wood, medium or FRP. - Q: What is the standard chuck capacity?
A: The standard chuck capacity is 1/4 in. (6.4 mm). - Q: How much thrust does the drill provide?
A: The manufacturer specifies 90 lb (400 N) thrust. - Q: Can this drill be operated remotely?
A: Yes. The built-in four-way valve enables both manual and remote operation. - Q: What air connection does the 8245-B8-3 use?
A: The listed configuration uses a 1/8 in. NPT male air inlet, 1/8 in. NPTF female control ports, and a 1/4 in. recommended hose I.D.
