Ingersoll Rand DG052B-15-B Pneumatic Pistol Grip Drill | 50 Series | 0.55 HP | 1,500 RPM | 3/8" Chuck Capacity

For production drilling applications requiring controlled hole starting and dependable pneumatic power, the Ingersoll Rand DG052B-15-B Pistol Grip Pneumatic Drill combines a responsive trigger with a compact drilling configuration. Part of the 50 Series Air Production Drills, this model delivers a 1,500 RPM free speed (rotational speed without drilling resistance) and 76.8 in-lbs (8.7 Nm) stall torque for drilling operations where moderate speed and greater turning force are required. Its 3/8" (10 mm) chuck capacity accommodates compatible drill bit shanks, while the 0.55 HP pneumatic motor supports consistent operation during repetitive manufacturing and assembly tasks. The pistol grip configuration provides a familiar handling arrangement for production operators, metal fabricators, and maintenance technicians working with appropriately sized drill bits.

The Ingersoll Rand DG052B-15-B incorporates a responsive two-stage trigger that allows operators to begin drilling at a slower speed before increasing rotation for efficient hole-making. Its high-performance motor and compact construction provide a useful balance of power and tool weight for repeated drilling operations. Measuring 7.5" (189 mm) in overall length and weighing 2.7 lbs (1.2 kg), the drill can be incorporated into handheld production workstations without the bulk of larger drilling equipment. A 0.9" (22 mm) side-to-center distance, measured from the spindle centerline to the side of the tool, helps operators assess clearance near fixtures and adjacent components. The drill requires a 1/4" NPT air inlet, with 25 CFM (720 L/min) air consumption and a 5/16" (8 mm) minimum hose internal diameter for compressed-air supply planning.

Features:

• 0.55 HP high-performance pneumatic motor delivers the power required for fast, smooth hole drilling in production environments.
• 1,500 RPM free speed provides a moderate rotational speed for drilling operations requiring a balance between cutting speed and available torque.
• 76.8 in-lbs stall torque represents the torque developed when the drill reaches a stalled condition, helping buyers compare turning capability across available models.
• 3/8" keyed chuck accommodates compatible drill bit shanks and allows bits to be secured using a chuck key.
• Responsive two-stage trigger provides greater control when starting a hole, allowing gradual engagement before increasing drilling speed.
• Compact pistol grip design and 2.7 lb weight help reduce the physical effort associated with repeated handheld drilling.
• 0.9" side-to-center distance provides dimensional information for drilling near fixtures, brackets, and adjacent workpiece surfaces.
• 50 Series construction combines production drilling performance with a compact configuration suitable for repeated manufacturing operations.

Tech Tip: To increase tool performance, extend tool life, and lessen repair costs, use it with a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator (FRL)

Applications:

• Manufacturing and production assembly – Drilling repeatable holes in fabricated components, brackets, and mechanical assemblies at production workstations.
• Metal fabrication – Preparing holes in metal workpieces and assembled structures using appropriately selected drill bits and cutting conditions.
• Industrial maintenance and MRO – Drilling replacement components, mounting brackets, and machinery parts during equipment servicing.
• Tooling and fixture construction – Producing holes in workholding fixtures and assembly components where controlled drill starting is beneficial.
• Automotive component manufacturing – Performing repetitive drilling operations on suitable metal components and production subassemblies.

FAQs:

• Q: What is the stall torque of the Ingersoll Rand DG052B-15-B?
  A: The manufacturer's catalog specifies 76.8 in-lbs (8.7 Nm) of stall torque. Stall torque is the torque developed when the drill stops rotating under load; it is not a continuous operating torque rating. Select drilling conditions according to the material, drill bit diameter, and available power.
• Q: What is the difference between the DG052B-15-B and DG052B-15-L?
  A: Both models operate at 1,500 RPM with 76.8 in-lbs stall torque and a 3/8" chuck capacity. The DG052B-15-B uses a conventional keyed chuck, while the DG052B-15-L features a keyless chuck. The appropriate selection depends on the preferred drill bit securing and changing method.
• Q: What size air compressor is required for the DG052B-15-B?
  A: Ingersoll Rand specifies 25 CFM (720 L/min) air consumption, a 1/4" NPT air inlet, and a minimum 5/16" hose internal diameter. The compressor must provide sufficient delivered airflow at the tool's required operating pressure. Allow for pressure losses through hoses, couplings, filters, and other air-line components.
• Q: How does the two-stage trigger improve drilling control?
  A: The two-stage trigger allows the operator to begin drilling with slower rotation before increasing speed. This helps with positioning the drill bit and starting the hole without immediately applying the tool's full free speed. Appropriate drill bit selection and secure workpiece clamping remain essential.
• Q: Is the DG052B-15-B suitable for drilling metal?
  A: Yes. The drill is suitable for metalworking and production drilling applications when used with the correct drill bit, cutting speed, feed pressure, and workpiece setup. The 3/8" chuck specification refers to bit-shank capacity rather than a guaranteed maximum hole diameter in every material.
