CLAUSING 2272-A UPRIGHT DRILL PRESS

Technical Description

The Clausing 2272-A Upright Drill Press is a heavy-duty, production-rated machine designed for precision drilling with a capacity of up to 0.75 inches in mild steel and 1.00 inch in cast iron using manual feed. It features a robust 1.5 HP motor driving a 2.5-inch diameter quill with a 3MT taper spindle, offering 6.5 inches of spindle travel. The chuck capacity is 1-1/4 inches (31.75 mm), allowing for versatility in tooling. The drill press provides a variable speed range from 300 to 2000 RPM, controlled through a sheave pulley system for fine-tuned operation. Constructed with a 4-inch diameter column featuring a 1/2-inch thick wall for enhanced rigidity, the machine supports a maximum spindle-to-mounted-base distance of 25.43 inches and maintains a 10-inch distance from column to spindle center. The adjustable work table includes 1/2-inch cored T-slots spaced on 9-inch centers on a 15.5" x 13" ground surface for secure workpiece mounting. Depth control is managed via a thread-adjustable depth stop, increasing precision in repetitive drilling tasks. Safety and usability are enhanced by a mesh top belt guard and a telescopic spindle guard. Optional coolant systems are available to support extended tool life and improved machining conditions. This drill press is suitable for workshop and light industrial environments requiring a reliable, precise, and versatile drilling platform. Its construction emphasizes durability, accuracy, and operator protection while accommodating a wide range of drilling applications.
