For production drilling setups that require a longer feed stroke, the Ingersoll Rand 8255-101-3 provides a 0.50 HP (.37 kW) pneumatic motor, 10,000 RPM free speed, and double gear reduction in the Par-A-Matic self-feed platform. The -3 configuration provides a 3 in. (76 mm) stroke, giving fixture builders additional spindle travel for automated or repeatable drilling cycles. The drill uses a 5/16 in. standard chuck and a controlled pneumatic feed system suited to production assembly engineering and fixtured machining.
The Par-A-Matic self-feed mechanism uses a double-acting air piston to control forward and retract movement. Needle-valve controls adjust the feed and retract strokes, while the adjustment screw provides infinite stroke-length settings. A built-in four-way valve supports manual or remote operation, allowing integration into suitable production machinery. Ball-bearing spindle support provides controlled spindle guidance, and the muffled exhaust helps reduce operating noise. The 8255-101 configuration is intended for repeatable, fixture-mounted drilling rather than general handheld drilling.

Applications:
- Production drilling — running repeatable drilling cycles where controlled pneumatic feed and retract movement are required.
- Fixture-mounted machining — installing the drill in dedicated fixtures where the 3 in. stroke provides the required spindle travel.
- Automated secondary machining — incorporating a controlled drilling operation into suitable pneumatic production equipment.
- Manufacturing assembly — performing repeatable holemaking operations without relying on continuous manual feed control.
- Metalworking — carrying out compatible material-specific drilling operations using the manufacturer's specified tooling and operating parameters.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the free speed of the 8255-101-3?
A: The 8255-101-3 has a 10,000 RPM free speed and uses double gear reduction. - Q: What does the “-3” configuration mean?
A: The -3 configuration identifies the 3 in. (76 mm) stroke version of the 8255-101 model family. - Q: What is the standard chuck capacity?
A: The standard chuck capacity is 5/16 in. (7.9 mm). Chuck capacity should not automatically be interpreted as the maximum drilling diameter for every material. - Q: Can this self-feed drill be remotely operated?
A: Yes. The built-in four-way valve permits both manual and remote operation for suitable pneumatic control arrangements. - Q: What is the difference between the 8255-101-2 and 8255-101-3?
A: Both models use the 10,000 RPM double-reduction configuration, but the -2 version has a 2 in. stroke while the -3 version provides a 3 in. stroke.
