For production drilling that requires moderate spindle speed and more turning force than high-speed pneumatic drill configurations, the Ingersoll Rand QP202D Pistol Grip Air Production Drill combines a 0.25 HP pneumatic motor with 2,000 RPM free speed and 24.8 in-lbs maximum torque. The trigger-start configuration gives operators direct control over tool activation while positioning the drill on the workpiece, making this model suitable for repetitive drilling operations in assembly plants, fabrication facilities, and equipment manufacturing environments.
The Ingersoll Rand QP202D uses a pistol-grip configuration for controlled manual handling during repeated drilling cycles. Its 2,000 RPM operating speed provides a practical balance between the rapid rotation of higher-speed production drills and the increased torque available from slower models. This speed-and-torque combination allows users to select the drill according to the cutting-tool diameter, workpiece material, and production requirements rather than relying on a single pneumatic drill configuration for every application.
Type: Pistol Grip Air Production Drill | Model: QP202D | Configuration: Pistol Grip | Motor Power: 0.25 HP | Free Speed: 2,000 RPM | Max Torque: 24.8 in-lbs | Start Type: Trigger-Start
Features:
- 0.25 HP pneumatic motor supplies rotational power for repetitive production drilling and assembly operations.
- 2,000 RPM free speed provides a balance of drilling speed and available turning force for compatible cutting applications.
- 24.8 in-lbs maximum torque supports drilling tasks that require more turning force than higher-speed QP drill configurations.
- Trigger-start control allows the operator to activate the drill directly from the handle after positioning the cutting tool.
- Pistol-grip configuration supports controlled manual handling during repetitive drilling at production and assembly stations.
- Speed and torque combination provides an intermediate option between faster, lower-torque models and slower QP drills designed for greater cutting loads.
- Air-powered operation supports repeated production cycles when connected to a properly sized compressed-air system.
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 — performing repetitive drilling on components and subassemblies where moderate speed and available torque match the process requirements.
- Equipment manufacturing — preparing parts for fasteners, hardware installation, and subsequent assembly steps at pneumatic workstations.
- Metal fabrication — drilling compatible sheet metal, brackets, panels, and fabricated components with tooling selected for the material and hole size.
- Automotive and transportation manufacturing — supporting repeated drilling operations on compatible components and assemblies.
- Industrial maintenance and MRO — handling drilling tasks during machinery repair, equipment installation, and component replacement.
FAQs:
- Q: What type of drilling applications suit the Ingersoll Rand QP202D?
A: The QP202D is suited to repetitive production and assembly drilling where its 2,000 RPM speed and 24.8 in-lbs maximum torque match the cutting tool and workpiece. Final suitability depends on the material, hole diameter, chuck capacity, drill geometry, and feed conditions. - Q: How does the QP202D compare with the QP381D?
A: The QP202D operates at 2,000 RPM and provides 24.8 in-lbs maximum torque, while the QP381D operates at 3,800 RPM with 13.3 in-lbs maximum torque. The QP202D provides more turning force at a lower spindle speed. - Q: What does trigger-start mean on this air production drill?
A: Trigger-start means the operator activates and stops the pneumatic motor using a trigger on the pistol-grip handle. This allows the cutting tool to be positioned before spindle rotation begins. - Q: Is the QP202D suitable for precision hole-making operations?
A: Suitability depends on the required hole tolerance, cutting tool, fixture, workpiece material, feed technique, and production process. Buyers should compare these requirements with the manufacturer's drilling-capacity guidance and tool specifications before selecting the QP202D. - Q: What should be checked before connecting the QP202D to an air system?
A: Verify the manufacturer-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.
