Hi guys, hope you don't mind educating me on this.
I've been looking at a few used milling machines, and a few that would pop up from time to time are some massive Cincinnati vertical and horizontal mills. They seem VERY heavy duty and they have big motors (often 15 HP). They seem to be the milling machine counterpart of those super heavy duty Monarchs or Pacemakers from that era.
Has anybody here operated one of those? What were your thoughts on them? They seem like a good fit for milling power plant parts. Most of them look pretty beat up, but I'm sure that with a good reconditioning and good lubrication they'll last a hundred years.
