USED 1966 CLAUSING 2287

1966 Clausing 20" Variable Speed Drill PressModel: 2287 | S/N 507634 | 1.5 HP Heavy-Duty Production PackageOverviewThe Clausing 2287 is a legendary "Heavy Iron" drill press, widely considered the gold standard for 20-inch industrial machines. Manufactured in 1966, this unit comes from an era of superior American metallurgy, featuring a high-nickel-content cast iron head and a massive 4" diameter ground steel column.This specific unit is equipped with the highly desirable Industrial Production Work Table, providing a massive 24" x 40" surface area for handling large panels, multi-part fixtures, or heavy assemblies that would overwhelm a standard tilting table.Factory Specifications & Technical DataYear of Manufacture: 1966Drilling Capacity: 1-1/4" in Cast Iron / 7/8" in Mild SteelSpindle Taper: No. 3 Morse Taper (3MT) (Allows for heavy-duty tooling)Variable Speed Range: Infinitely variable from 150 – 2000 RPMSpindle Travel: Industrial-leading 6-1/2" depth capacityQuill Diameter: 2.5" Precision Ground SteelColumn: 4" Diameter Ground Steel with 1/2" thick walls for maximum rigidityMotor: 1.5 HP, 3-Phase (Wired for 440V/480V)Included Work Table: 24" x 40" x 34" H Heavy-Duty Production BaseKey Features & Dealer BenefitsInfinitely Variable Speed Drive: Dial in the exact RPM required for the material while the machine is running. The high/low range capability provides maximum torque for large-diameter drilling and high-speed precision for smaller bits.Precision Head Assembly: All bearing surfaces were precision bored simultaneously at the factory to ensure perfect alignment. Eight ball bearings support the spindle, with a double-row lower bearing designed to absorb heavy radial and thrust loads.Massive Production Table: The large 24" x 40" working surface eliminates the need for makeshift supports and allows for the mounting of large industrial vises or rotary tables.Integrated Safety & Control: Features a top-mounted belt guard and a thread-adjustable depth stop for repeatable precision during production runs.
