Hi
Just bought a used mill a Cincinnati Tool master. I guess I could
not get really lucky and someone still have one with some
documentation but if you do I would love to get a copy someway.
I believe from the motor it is a three phase unit taking either 230 or
460 Vac. I also believe that it is probably a 2-hp motor.

Correct. Nice! mill btw.

Similar sized mill 9 x 42, but it's a MaxMill. Any thoughts about
that brand? It seems that they are still in business, but it looks
like all CNC stuff now. Kind of wondering about parts and manuals
availability.

There's one a few miles away from me I could pick up for $1,200 with
quite a bit of tooling. I believe it's an early '70's vintage, low
useage, and everything checks out pretty damn good. Needs a good
cleaning from sitting (inside) for th' past 10 years.

You have any experience with those, Gunner?

MaxMills are decent Taiwanese mills Some were made in Spain IRRC, but
most in Taiwan. About like a BP of which most were clones.

You should be happy with it.

Thanks. It's not what I really wanted, but... it's better than what I
have now (nothing). Plus th' seller has a forklift and trailer to
load/unload it for me. I'm having a hard time finding any reason
*not* to buy it.

If anyone has any horror stories about this one, I'd like to hear
about it tho.
