Clausing 16SC Drill press followed me home!

[Buickgsman]

I found a Clausing 16SC 15" drill press on my local Craigslist and ended up bringing it home last night. For the most part, it's a nice original machine that runs well. One thing that I found as weird is that the column was spliced and the upper and lower sections appear to be different materials. Not sure whats going on there, but I was lucky and found a replacement column for $105 bucks shipped and its in NJ so it should be here in a few days. Once that's swapped in, it will be a sweet little addition to my shop. I'll post a few pics tomorrow.

Some pics of the drill press including a few of the "splice" - not sure what is going on there, but everything else looks great on it. Looking forward to getting the replacement column hopefully this week.

Nice drill press! Maybe it was a bench model and some one converted it to a floor model.

That would be my guess. It looks pretty rigid so overall a nice solution.
