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. This leads to my first question I have and that is for something like this is the rotary converters better or the electronics version. I also presume it would be better to get a larger unit so that I can use it with other three phase items. I am hoping that this mill will suffice for a little while for my start-up metal-working hobby. The ways seem to be in decent shape. The handles seem to have the most damage and I think I will try to cast some new ones. I guess before try to figure out how to run it I might as well try to clean it up some. I was think about using gunk (like the car motor version) to do this. It is basically covered with oil(lub from milling I presume). It is currently just outside the front door where they unloaded it so it seems to be a good time to clean it. Any surprises I should look out for or expect. Thanks for any and all help. If necessary or asked to I will try to post pics to help.- posted
