Johannson Drill press 1966 very unique

[tedsters]

how much do you think i should ask for this, I think i will be getting a Leland Gifford here tomorrow

 

[larry_g]

If it runs as good as it looks I'd ask $750. If I was buying I'd want it in the $450 range.

no neat sig line

this thing is a power house it has a 1hp dayton capacitator motor on it i listed it for $475.00 i figured it would be a purchase range the jacobs chuck with #3 morse taper will go with it

 

[tedsters]

i just give a guy a good deal on this johannson i needed it out of the way have to make room for the 20 inch clausing hopefully it will look as nice as the johannson when i am done with it

Ok, I gotta ask, why get rid of the Johannson for the Clausing? The Johannson looks like twice the DP of the Clausing, with the gear head, XY table, head raiser, etc. I have a large Clausing 20" or 22" variable speed drill, would trade it for a Johannson in a heart beat.

IMHO, they are two different machines. While Johansson builds nice machines, they are typically large lite work type. It is not really designed to drill large holes like the Clausing will. If tedsters has a standard milling machine the Johannson is kinda redundant, and he would be better served by the large clausing. Again IMHO, I'm not tedsters.

I'm not sure if his Johansson had a tapping feature (doesn't look like it), but that would be about one of the only reasons to keep it. Otherwise for a general drill press the Clausing beats it hands down.

you are right on if it had a tapping set up on it i would keep it and i do have a 2hp mill i am just starting to get a decent shop built and the clausing i have has a VFD on it so its the only drill i really need BUT the johannson is a heck of a drill

You could get a Tapmatic or or add a reversing switch. I think you will regret selling it!

Sorry if I'm being pedantic, but this is a pet peeve of mine.

Unique means one of a kind - without qualifiers. Something cannot be "very" unique. It's either unique or it's not.

Yep, you are being Pedantic, and this is Garage Journal, and the Internets...

See my response above. Kinda redundant if you have a knee mill.

So tedsters, what kind of deal did you give the guy? Did it stay local?

BTW folks, I saw this in person and should have grabbed it. tedsters does beautiful work.

hey whats up, he's about 50 miles away and if he does not show like he said i will list it for way more then i told him

Yes I did see your response and appreciate your knowledge, but the looks, it really looks nicer than the Clausing. I agree with you that the Clausing may be a better machine.

Careful judging a book by its cover.

Well, in my opinion, they're comparable in capacity. Neither is in the same league as a Cincinnati Bickford, or even an old camel back, and neither would be happy drilling holes bigger than 5/8"-3/4" all day long. Suspect both are 3MT, with a better range of speeds for metal work on the Johannson. Neither will work well as a milling machine, so that never factored into my decision. Does the Johannson have power down feed?
My offer still stands, I'd trade my Clausing for a Johannson in comparable condition.
