CLAUSING 1643 UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

The Clausing 1643 Upright Drill Press features a 16-inch swing and a 7-1/2 inch spindle-to-column distance, supported by a robust 3-inch diameter column. It offers five spindle speeds ranging from 400 to 5400 RPM with infinite variability via a countershaft drive. The spindle has a 3 MT taper and 6-1/2 inches of travel, operated by a forward/reverse switch for flexible machining operations. The worktable measures 22 inches by 19.5 inches with 1/2-inch cored T-slots spaced on 9-inch centers, providing secure mounting options and tilt capability for precision angled drilling. The quill diameter is 2-1/2 inches, contributing to rigidity and accuracy during operation. This drill press is powered by a 1.5 to 3/4 HP, two-speed, 3-phase motor compatible with 220V or 440V inputs. It incorporates a thread-adjustable depth stop, mesh-top belt guard for safety, an emergency stop button, and low voltage power protection with reset. CNC-compatible models add features including a maximum feed speed of 250 inches per minute, a built-in manual pulse generator (MPG) wheel, 0-10VDC analog spindle output, a USB port for NC program import, and the ability to store up to 99 programs without requiring battery backup. This combination of mechanical robustness, variable speed control, and CNC integration options makes the Clausing 1643 suitable for heavy-duty, precise drilling tasks in industrial environments.
