Ingersoll Rand 8255-A5-1 is a Par-A-Matic Series Self-Feed Air Drill configured for controlled, repetitive drilling in automated and fixture-mounted machining applications. This model combines a 0.50 HP pneumatic motor with a 500 RPM free speed and double gear reduction, providing a low-speed spindle configuration for applications where controlled drilling is required. The -1 configuration provides a 1-1/4 in. (32 mm) stroke, while the model has a 5/16 in. nominal drilling capacity in SAE 1213 steel.
The Par-A-Matic self-feed arrangement uses compressed air for spindle rotation and feed/control functions. A double-acting air piston provides controlled forward and retract strokes, with needle-valve controls for adjusting those movements. The adjustment screw provides infinite stroke-length settings, while the built-in four-way valve allows both manual and remote operation. Ball-bearing spindle support provides controlled spindle guidance, and the muffled exhaust helps reduce operating noise. The manufacturer specification identifies a 5/16 in. standard chuck capacity, 1/4 in. NPT male air inlet, and 5/16 in. recommended hose I.D.

- Double gear reduction provides the drive configuration specified for the 500 RPM model.
- The 1-1/4 in. stroke provides controlled spindle travel for compatible production fixtures.
- The 5/16 in. standard chuck accommodates compatible drill tooling within the manufacturer's specified capacity.
NON-RETURNABLE. MADE TO ORDER.
Applications:
- Production drilling — performing repeatable holemaking operations where controlled pneumatic feed and retract movement are required.
- Fixture-mounted machining — integrating the drill into dedicated production fixtures where the 1-1/4 in. stroke provides the required 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 equipment — using the four-way valve for manual or remote operation in suitable pneumatic control systems.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the correct motor power for the 8255-A5-1?
A: The manufacturer specification identifies the Par-A-Matic series as a 0.50 HP configuration. The “.05 HP” shown in the supplied product title appears to be a catalog/listing entry error and should be verified before publication. - Q: What is the free speed of the 8255-A5-1?
A: The 8255-A5-1 has a 500 RPM free speed. - Q: What does the “-1” suffix indicate?
A: The -1 configuration provides a 1-1/4 in. (32 mm) stroke. - Q: What does double gear reduction mean?
A: It identifies the double gear reduction configuration used to provide the 500 RPM spindle speed. - Q: What are the material-specific drilling capacities?
A: The manufacturer lists 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) in Type 304 stainless steel, 5/16 in. (7.9 mm) in SAE 1213 steel, 11/32 in. (8.7 mm) in 2024-T4 aluminum, and 13/32 in. (10.3 mm) in wood, medium or FRP. - Q: What is the standard chuck capacity?
A: The standard chuck capacity is 5/16 in. - Q: Can this self-feed drill be operated remotely?
A: Yes. The built-in four-way valve permits both manual and remote operation.
