1967 16mm Promotional Film - MONARCH 220 N/CC Machine Tool

This channel is not monetized. If you like what you see here and would like to help me continue sharing cool stuff on my channel, please consider making a donation via Venmo @Pea-Hicks.
I was recently given dozens of old 16mm films that were rescued from the dumpster of a local college many years ago, all dealing with machine shop topics, ie training, etc. Scanning them is a laborious process, so I'm only going to do a few of them. I will most likely be passing these films along to an archive rather than tackling them myself, but maybe I'll do a couple more of them.
Scanned with my Moviestuff Retroscan Universal.

Circular interpolation back in 1967 is quite amazing.
Took well into early 1980s to have that on most machines.

Great video! Sent this to my dad who worked at Cincinnati Milacron (and other machine tool companies) from the 70's until retiring this year. He enjoyed it too 😁

And a very special shout out to those of us who remember hand-drawn prints where revision levels required copious amounts of white-out.

[@shakeydavesr]

The guy at the 10 minute mark obviously ran out of white out,,, his eraser was completely flat,,,lol

When they say they don't build them like they used to. It is so true. Super heavy casting with large bearing.
The name plate date say 1945 and still here in the 21st century. With a little update. The machine still gives precision.

Love it how far we'd come
This was high tech then

[@Likeaudio]

What a piece of history. Amazing machine

[@rickden8362]

Great video, I always wondered how far back early cnc went. A video on programing the tap would be great.

[@shakeydavesr]

And seeing the programming of the "Tape" would be cool also,,,

[@DieselpunkMachine]

55 years without any progress in production...

5:56 - 'There is no chance of scrapping parts'.
I guess it's good that RUclips didn't exist back then lol

[@david2067]

Say it with me everyone: "UNDER TAPE CONTROL"

[@danneumann3274]

very nice. Where can I buy one of these?

[@eddiekulp1241]

All was good till the tape broke

[@awatt]

The machine stops then tape.

Um torno fabricar várias peças ok .o mais legal é antes dos tornos a fabricação deles . E fabricar vários tornos .isso sim é legal

[@StonesAndSand]

Under tape control...

[@ThunderAppeal]

And americans wondered why did the quality of our automobiles suffer to badly during the late 1970s in to the 90s?
Because our 'machinists' were still using bridgeports rather than these CNCs.

Wut?

Bro you are tripping if you think the big 3 didn't pounce on these
