Cincinnati Toolmaster vertical mill
Hi,
My brother in law has in effect offered to give me a Cincinnati Toolmaster vertical mill with an infinitely variable speed head for free. It's relatively local and wouldn't cost a ton to move. It has an undetermined amount of tooling with it, but he says it's in good shape. I've heard that collets are hard to find (although it may be fully set up), but that the Toolmasters were nice machines. I'm going to take a look at it, but I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts about these machines: things to look out for, strengths, weaknesses, typical problem areas? Suggestions? Peter |
