Cincinnati Milacron


How a Cincinnati Toolmaker Built the Machine That Made American Factories Automatic
The Tool Archives and The Tool Autopsy

Great history of Cincinnati Milacron, though when it gets toward the end he starts ranting about who's to blame, which is kind of pointless now. Those who study history and are smart enough will learn something without it being pointed out.

Note that Cincinnati one N in the first Cin and two Ns in the 2nd Cinn, and Milacron has only one L. YouTube videos always include the name of who posted the video and a link to their YouTube page, except this one. The link for The Tool Archives and The Tool Autopsy, the purported makers of this video, goes nowhere. The Tool Archives does have a website.

Why didn't I know about CNC machining until the 1980s if it had been around since the 1950s? Maybe I had heard of its existence but I never ran into any of it. Kind of irritates me now.
