12" Variable Speed Drill Press

Depending on the model, Clausing drill presses can drill up to 2.75 inches in mild steel and up to 3.15 inches in cast iron. Entry-level models start at 0.75 inches in mild steel. This wide capacity range makes them suitable for light precision work through heavy-duty production drilling applications.

Clausing drill presses offer three quill feed systems: manual feed for operator-controlled precision, mechanical clutch feed for repeatable automatic depth control, and electromagnetic clutch feed for smooth power-feed operations. The right choice depends on your production volume and the level of drilling precision your application demands.

Yes. Select models equipped with the RS option feature an automatic tapping system with spindle reversing that is activated by a limit stop. This allows accurate, repeatable tapping operations without manual spindle reversal, improving throughput and reducing operator fatigue in high-volume tapping applications.

Spindle speeds range from as low as 62 RPM up to 4,800 RPM depending on the model and drive type selected. This broad range accommodates a variety of materials and operations — from slow-speed large-diameter drilling in cast iron to high-speed reaming and spot-facing in softer materials.

All Clausing drill press models include an emergency stop button, a safety drill guard with microswitch for operator protection, and a thermomagnetic motor breaker switch for electrical safety. Select models are CE Mark certified for compliance with European low voltage electrical equipment standards, ensuring safe operation in regulated facilities.
