I've been reading "Treatise on Milling and Milling Machines" by Cincinnati Milling Machine Company from 1951. It is a GREAT book. One cannot but be impressed by the breadth of the companies offerings and their command of the issues surrounding milling and milling machines. Now Milacron appears to be a plastics processing expert with no metalworking machine tools.
My question is how they collapsed into a shadow of their former self in the subsequent 50 years?
The Milacron website history mentions milling machines in passing but they quickly switch to injection molding and cooling fluids. They mention that the "legacy machine tool business" was sold in 1998. How did it become a "legacy?"
