Designed for precision production drilling, the Ingersoll Rand 8266-A17-2 self-feed offset drill combines a 3/16" drilling capacity, 1,700 RPM free speed, and double gear reduction to provide controlled, repeatable drilling performance for demanding manufacturing environments. Its integrated self-feed mechanism automatically advances the drill into the workpiece, helping produce consistent hole quality while reducing operator fatigue during repetitive drilling operations.
The offset head design improves accessibility when drilling near flanges, structural members, and other obstructions where conventional inline drills have limited clearance. Built for continuous-duty industrial service, the 8266-A17-2 delivers dependable pneumatic performance for aerospace, transportation, fabrication, and general manufacturing applications that require accurate hole placement and repeatable production results.
