Used Clausing Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Clausing Industrial traces its origins to 1911, when the company was founded in Kalamazoo, Michigan as Atlas Press Company, producing arbor presses for the fledgling automotive and manufacturing industries. Over more than a century the firm evolved into one of North America's most recognized machine tool brands, building and distributing a broad range of metalworking equipment while maintaining its headquarters and core manufacturing operations in Kalamazoo.

Drill presses have always been the cornerstone of the Clausing product line, offered in 15-inch and 20-inch swing sizes across a wide range of configurations including single-spindle floor models, bench-type units, variable-speed Reeves-drive versions, and multi-spindle gang drill setups. Model families such as the 1640, 1684, 1685, 1769, 2275, 2276, 2277, and 2287 give buyers a spectrum of capacities from light toolroom work to heavy production drilling. On the milling side, Clausing markets vertical knee mills under the Clausing Kondia name, with the FV-1 and FV-300 being the most widely traded models; the FV-300 features an 11-inch by 58-inch table, variable spindle speeds from 60 to 4,000 RPM, and an R8 or ISA-30 spindle taper, and is available in manual, DRO-equipped, and full CNC configurations.

Clausing machines serve a broad cross-section of metalworking industries. Job shops and toolrooms rely on Clausing drill presses and vertical mills for general-purpose hole-making, facing, and contouring work. Aerospace fabricators use them for precision drilling of structural components, while automotive suppliers, mold makers, maintenance departments, and vocational training facilities all count Clausing equipment among their standard toolroom assets.

Used Clausing drill presses and vertical mills hold their value well on the secondary market for several reasons. The machines are built around heavy cast-iron frames and precision-bored spindle heads that resist wear over decades of service. Clausing's dedicated Service Center stocks more than 74,000 parts and commits to supporting machines purchased more than 50 years ago, with 95 percent of parts orders shipped within 24 hours — a level of aftermarket support that is rare among machine tool brands and gives buyers of used Clausing equipment confidence that replacement parts and technical help remain readily available.
