CLAUSING (1) 2286-300 UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

Technical Description

The Clausing 2286-300 Upright Drill Press is a heavy-duty machine designed for precision drilling with capacities of 0.75 inches in mild steel and 1.00 inch in cast iron. It features a 20-inch swing and a 10-inch distance from spindle to column centerline, supported by a robust 4-inch diameter, 43-inch long column for enhanced rigidity. The quill diameter is 2.5 inches with a 3MT spindle taper, offering a spindle travel of 6.5 inches and a maximum spindle-to-base distance of 25.43 inches. Variable speeds range from 150 to 2,000 RPM, powered by a 1.5 to 0.75 HP motor running on 230V three-phase power. The 22" x 19.5" table includes 1/2" cored T-slots spaced on 9-inch centers to accommodate various workpieces. The drill press is equipped with precision-bored bearing surfaces, supported by eight ball bearings—including a double-row lower spindle bearing—to ensure smooth operation and absorb both radial and thrust loads. Safety and operational convenience features include a thread-adjustable depth stop, telescopic spindle guard, mesh top belt guard, and a head elevation mechanism. Optional accessories include a coolant system, E-stop switch, and forward/reverse switch. The machine measures 20" x 34" x 52" and weighs approximately 360 pounds, making it suitable for industrial and workshop applications requiring robust performance with fine control and versatility.
