Thread: Cincinnati milling manual needed

Hi

There is a guy around here looking for a operators manual or any manual for a Cincinnati horizontal milling machine , it's a older MI model I believe, from the 1940's or early 50's . The Cinc. manuals for sale on ebay are rather expensive for some reason , they seem to be printed on gold leaf paper ! Any leads appreciated . Mike

G'day Mike,
vintagemachinery.org is a good place for machine manuals.
metalillness.com used to have a good assortment of manuals too.

Quick google found this list perhaps there is something that might be of use:

I knew there was a French forum with a fantastic array of machine manuals that I found back when I was looking for Thiel info.
I'd lost the link but found it with a bit more googling, you can spend hours on this site even if you don't speak French.
Here's the entry for Cincinnati MI & ML, which might be what your mate is after:

Cheers,
