1982 Clausing 20" Variable Speed Production Drill Press

Model 2284 | S/N 522799 | Massive 24" x 48" Steel Production Table

Overview

This is a heavy-duty Clausing 2284 integrated into an oversized 24" x 48" x 1.5" thick steel production table. While the 2284 is already famous for its 1.25" drilling capacity and #3 Morse Taper spindle, this specific configuration is built for serious industrial throughput.

The expansive work surface allows for the mounting of multiple vises or the support of long workpieces without the need for external stands. Mounted on heavy-duty casters (2 stationary, 2 swivel), this entire 2,500+ lb workstation can be repositioned within your shop as production needs change.

Key Features & Dealer Benefits

• Massive Work Envelope: The 48-inch wide table is a "game changer" for job shops, allowing you to slide large parts under the spindle rather than re-clamping constantly.
• Infinitely Variable Speed: Dial in the exact RPM for your material while the spindle is running—no belt changes required to move from high-speed drilling to low-speed reaming.
• Precision Head Construction: Eight ball-bearing spindle support system ensures zero "runout," delivering perfectly round holes every time.
• Mobility & Stability: The heavy-duty neoprene casters allow one person to move the machine, yet provide a rock-solid platform once the locks are engaged.
• Micrometer Depth Stop: Ideal for high-repetition blind hole drilling with 0.001" precision.

Condition & Value Note

• Investment Grade: The 2284 is a "forever" machine. Parts are still readily available from Clausing Industrial (USA), making this a low-risk, high-return asset for any shop.
• Table Condition: [Note: "Pristine steel surface" or "Normal shop wear"].
• Mechanical Status: Variable speed pulleys run quiet through the entire 150-2000 RPM range.

Dealer Note: You are not just buying a drill press; you are buying a dedicated drilling station. The value of the 1.5" thick ground steel table alone represents a significant portion of this package's utility.
