Clausing 1671 drill press

The 1671 is a 3/4 HP, 3-phase 15" floor model drill press with tilting 10x14" table, variable drive and spindle speeds of 500-4000 rpm and came with a 1/2" chuck, at least per the ca 1968 brochure I have. In fact it looks like all of the 15" drill presses from back then were equipped with either 1/2" drill chucks on 33JT spindles or sans chuck and an MT2 spindle.
The 20" models had MT3 spindles and spindle speeds as low as 150 rpm so it sounds like you'd want one of those. The floor models weigh around 650 lbs in case you want to plan ahead.

RATS, not big enough. This is at a poorly advertised auction. I bet it goes for dirt.
Dang it Gunner, I wish you lived 2000 miles closer.

I'd be all over it but it is a 4600 mile round trip.
