CLAUSING 1621 UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

Technical Description

The Clausing 1621 Upright Drill Press features a 15-inch swing, enabling drilling up to 7.5 inches from the spindle centerline to the column for versatile workpiece sizes. Its sturdy 14" x 10" adjustable table supports precise positioning and ease of use. Powered by a 1/2 HP motor running on 220/230 volts at 50/60 Hz, this machine provides variable spindle speeds across 8 settings, with typical speeds around 700 RPM, conducive to various materials and bit sizes. The drill press offers a drilling capacity of up to 1.25" in steel and 1.18" in cast iron with hand feed, along with tapping capacities of 0.71" (steel) and 0.87" (cast iron). It has a spindle travel (quill stroke) of 5.9" (150 mm), allowing adequate drilling depth per operation, with precise depth control within ±0.001". Operator efficiency and safety are enhanced by features including an adjustable depth stop, spindle reversing switch, emergency stop, drill guard with microswitch, work light, and an automatic tool ejector. The machine head houses built-in low-voltage electrical components for reliability. The quill exerts up to 1250 lbs of force, suitable for demanding tasks, and supports a feed rate range from 0.01 to 120 inches per minute with fine peck drilling steps from 0.001" to 6.4". Weighing approximately 350 lbs, this drill press combines robust industrial capability with precision controls, making it suitable for metalworking and fabrication requiring accurate and consistent hole drilling.
