Ingersoll Rand 8255-A14-1 is a Par-A-Matic Series Self-Feed Air Drill designed for repetitive production drilling and fixture-mounted machining where controlled spindle feed and retract movement are required. This model combines a 0.50 HP (.37 kW) pneumatic motor with a 1,450 RPM free speed and double gear reduction. The -1 configuration provides a 1-1/4 in. (32 mm) stroke, making it suitable for production fixtures requiring controlled and repeatable spindle travel. The manufacturer lists nominal drilling capabilities of 5/32 in. (4.0 mm) in Type 304 stainless steel, 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) in SAE 1213 steel, 5/16 in. (7.9 mm) in 2024-T4 aluminum, and 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) in wood, medium or FRP.
The Par-A-Matic self-feed system uses compressed air for spindle rotation and feed/control functions. A double-acting air piston provides smooth, controlled forward and retract strokes, while needle-valve controls allow adjustment of the feed and retract strokes. The adjustment screw provides infinite stroke-length settings, and the built-in four-way valve permits manual or remote operation. Ball-bearing spindle support provides precision spindle guidance, while the muffled exhaust helps provide a quieter work environment. The manufacturer specifies 170 lb (756 N) thrust at 90 PSI, 2.3 ft³/cycle (65 L/cycle) air consumption at working speed, 74 dB(A) sound level, and a 5/16 in. (7.9 mm) standard chuck capacity.

Applications:
- Production drilling — performing repeatable drilling cycles where controlled pneumatic feed and retract movement are required.
- Fixture-mounted machining — integrating the drill into dedicated fixtures where the 1-1/4 in. stroke matches the required spindle travel.
- Metalworking — drilling stainless steel and SAE 1213 steel within the manufacturer's nominal capacity ratings.
- Aluminum fabrication — performing drilling operations in 2024-T4 aluminum within the manufacturer's specified nominal capacity.
- Automated secondary machining — using the built-in four-way valve for manual or remote operation in suitable pneumatic production equipment.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the correct motor power for the 8255-A14-1?
A: The correct motor rating is 0.50 HP (.37 kW). The supplied title states “.05 HP,” but Ingersoll Rand identifies the Par-A-Matic 8255 series as a 0.50 HP (.37 kW) series. - Q: What is the free speed of the 8255-A14-1?
A: The 8255-A14-1 has a 1,450 RPM free speed. - Q: What does the “-1” suffix indicate?
A: The -1 configuration identifies the 1-1/4 in. (32 mm) stroke version of the 8255-A14 model family. - Q: What does double gear reduction mean?
A: It identifies the double gear reduction configuration used in the spindle drive of the 1,450 RPM model. - Q: What are the material-specific drilling capacities?
A: The manufacturer lists 5/32 in. (4.0 mm) in Type 304 stainless steel, 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) in SAE 1213 steel, 5/16 in. (7.9 mm) in 2024-T4 aluminum, and 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) in wood, medium or FRP. - Q: How much thrust does this drill provide?
A: The manufacturer specifies 170 lb (756 N) thrust at 90 PSI. - Q: What is the air consumption?
A: Air consumption is specified at 2.3 ft³/cycle (65 L/cycle) at working speed. - Q: What is the standard chuck capacity?
A: The standard chuck capacity is 5/16 in. (7.9 mm). - Q: Can the 8255-A14-1 be operated remotely?
A: Yes. The built-in four-way valve permits both manual and remote operation.
