When production drilling requires more turning force than higher-speed pneumatic models can provide, the Ingersoll Rand QP152D Pistol Grip Air Production Drill delivers a controlled combination of 1,500 RPM free speed, 30.1 in-lbs maximum torque, and a 0.25 HP air motor. This speed-and-torque balance supports repetitive hole-making in compatible metals and manufactured components, while the trigger-start control lets the operator align the cutting tool before activating the spindle.
The Ingersoll Rand QP152D uses a pistol-grip configuration for manual drilling at production benches, fabrication stations, and manufacturing cells. Its lower spindle speed provides more available torque than faster QP-series drills, making it useful when the cutting tool, hole diameter, or workpiece material places a greater load on the motor. Proper drill selection should account for chuck capacity, cutting-tool geometry, material, feed rate, and the available compressed-air supply.
Type: Pistol Grip Air Production Drill | Model: QP152D | Configuration: Pistol Grip | Motor Power: 0.25 HP | Free Speed: 1,500 RPM | Max Torque: 30.1 in-lbs | Start Type: Trigger-Start
Features:
- 0.25 HP pneumatic motor supplies rotational power for repetitive drilling and assembly operations.
- 1,500 RPM free speed supports controlled drilling where additional turning force is preferred over higher spindle speed.
- 30.1 in-lbs maximum torque provides greater available torque than faster QP production drill configurations.
- Trigger-start control allows the cutting tool to be positioned before the pneumatic motor is activated.
- Pistol-grip configuration supports controlled manual handling at production stations and fabrication benches.
- Speed and torque combination suits applications positioned between high-speed, low-torque drilling and slower, higher-torque processes.
- Air-powered operation supports repeated production cycles when supplied with clean, regulated compressed air.
Tech Tip: To increase tool performance, extend tool life and lessen repair costs use it with a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator (FRLs)
Made in USA: 
Applications:
- Production assembly — drilling components and subassemblies where moderate spindle speed and increased turning force match the process.
- Equipment manufacturing — preparing parts for fasteners, hardware installation, and subsequent assembly operations.
- Metal fabrication — drilling compatible sheet metal, brackets, panels, and fabricated components with properly selected tooling.
- Automotive and transportation manufacturing — performing repetitive drilling on compatible structural and interior components.
- Industrial maintenance and MRO — completing drilling tasks during machinery repair, equipment installation, and component replacement.
FAQs:
- Q: What type of drilling work suits the Ingersoll Rand QP152D?
A: The QP152D is suited to repetitive production drilling where 1,500 RPM and 30.1 in-lbs of maximum torque match the cutting tool and workpiece. Application suitability also depends on hole diameter, material, chuck capacity, and feed conditions. - Q: How does the QP152D compare with the QP202D?
A: The QP152D operates at 1,500 RPM with 30.1 in-lbs maximum torque, while the QP202D operates at 2,000 RPM with 24.8 in-lbs maximum torque. The QP152D provides more turning force at a lower spindle speed. - Q: What does trigger-start mean?
A: Trigger-start means the operator activates and stops the pneumatic motor using a trigger on the pistol-grip handle. This allows the drill to be positioned on the workpiece before rotation begins. - Q: Does the 30.1 in-lbs torque rating determine the maximum drill size?
A: No. Maximum drilling capacity also depends on the chuck, cutting-tool diameter, workpiece material, drill geometry, feed pressure, and manufacturer application limits. - Q: What should be checked before connecting the QP152D to an air system?
A: Confirm the specified operating pressure, airflow, air inlet size, and minimum hose diameter. The compressor, regulator, fittings, and hose must maintain the required air supply while the drill is operating under load.
