Just picked up a clausing drill press for $100. Guy said it’s been setting for 25 years and is covered in lime dust. Worked when parked. Everything turns and spindle moves up n down. No drill holes or dents in the table
it’s the move the belt to a different pulley grove to change speed vs the variable speed drive system.
I think with a bit of TLC she’ll be a great drill press. I’m probably going to find a 220v single phase motor for it vs setting it up on a phase converter. Mostly my basement shop is more geared towards wood working.
ive got a big pig Rockwell like this guy in my main shop and it’s variable speed system. I run it on a phase converter along with my other machine shop machines.
I don’t think I did bad for $100 but I think I grew a third nut helping the huge husky seller move it from his trailer to mine. Moving it into my basement shop once I get it reconditioned will be fun fun fun.
