Designed for controlled drilling and assembly work where repeatable speed and compact pneumatic power are important, the Ingersoll Rand QP201D Pneumatic Air Drill combines a 0.25 HP air motor with 2,000 RPM free speed and a 24.8 in-lbs torque range. The trigger-start configuration gives the operator direct control over tool activation, making this model suitable for production stations, fabrication areas, and maintenance operations involving repetitive drilling and compatible rotary-tool applications.
The Ingersoll Rand QP201D provides a pneumatic drilling solution for assembly processes that require a balance of rotational speed and available torque. Its 2,000 RPM configuration supports drilling smaller holes and working with compatible tooling where higher rotational speed is preferred over the increased torque available from slower drill models. The trigger-start design allows the operator to start and stop the tool from the handle while positioning the drill on the workpiece, supporting controlled use during repeated production and maintenance tasks.
Type: Pneumatic Air Drill | Model: QP201D | Motor Power: 0.25 HP | Free Speed: 2,000 RPM | Torque Range: 24.8 in-lbs | Start Type: Trigger-Start
Features:
- 0.25 HP pneumatic motor provides rotational power for drilling and compatible assembly operations.
- 2,000 RPM free speed supports smaller-hole drilling and applications that benefit from faster tool rotation.
- 24.8 in-lbs torque range provides available turning force for compatible drilling and rotary-tool applications.
- Trigger-start operation gives the user direct control over tool activation during positioning and drilling.
- Air-powered design supports repeated use at production workstations and maintenance areas equipped with a properly sized compressed-air system.
- Speed and torque configuration provides an option for applications where a faster pneumatic drill is preferred over slower, higher-torque models.
Tech Tip: To increase tool performance, extend tool life and lessen repair costs use it with a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator (FRLs)

Applications:
- Production assembly — drilling holes in components and subassemblies during repetitive manufacturing operations.
- Metal fabrication — drilling compatible materials and preparing workpieces for fasteners, hardware, and subsequent assembly steps.
- Industrial maintenance and MRO — performing drilling tasks during machinery repair, equipment installation, and component replacement.
- Equipment manufacturing — supporting repeated drilling operations at workstations supplied by centralized compressed-air systems.
- General shop work — drilling and compatible rotary-tool tasks where a 2,000 RPM pneumatic tool matches the material, tooling, and required hole size.
FAQs:
- Q: What is the Ingersoll Rand QP201D used for?
A: The QP201D is a pneumatic drill intended for drilling and compatible rotary-tool operations in production assembly, fabrication, equipment manufacturing, maintenance, and general shop environments. - Q: What does the 2,000 RPM rating mean?
A: The 2,000 RPM rating is the tool's free speed, or rotational speed when the drill is operating without load. Actual working speed will vary according to the material, drill size, feed pressure, and available compressed-air supply. - Q: What does trigger-start mean on this pneumatic drill?
A: Trigger-start means the operator activates the drill using a trigger control on the tool. This allows the tool to be positioned before starting and stopped directly from the handle during use. - Q: Is the QP201D intended for high-torque, large-diameter drilling?
A: The supplied specifications identify a 2,000 RPM speed and 24.8 in-lbs torque range. Buyers should compare the required hole diameter, material, drill bit, and torque demand with the manufacturer's application guidance before selecting this model for larger or higher-load drilling operations. - Q: What should be checked before connecting the QP201D to an air system?
A: Confirm the manufacturer-specified operating pressure, airflow requirement, air inlet size, and minimum hose diameter. The compressor, regulator, fittings, and hose must maintain the required air supply while the drill is operating.
