I have a Diamond Tool Co (Los Angeles) http://www.lathes.co.uk/diamond/ bench mill Model B-12 bench mill, s/n 1269, built 3/46. Search this site yields no results (search function needs work, we need a search: "Diamond Tool" (both words in that order). I get lots of "Diamond" with "tool", but no "Diamond Tool").
I inherited this from my boss, he used it to build several nice pendulum clocks, along with a 12" Atlas (the Atlas is long gone to an LALS member). The main horizontal spindle is (I think) B&S #9, there is a vertical head added with the letters "Type B" cast on the quill housing. It's spindle is either MT 2 or B&S #7, I haven't checked carefully enough.
Anyone have one of these??? Anyone in the SoCal area want one cheap??? If any interest, I'll post a picture or two...

Re: Diamond Tool Company - Milling Machine
Nah, didn't want tool companies that use diamond tools, in LA or China, or where ever. I just though that this group had discussed this mill at some time (heck, Tony in the UK has a section!) and the search returned diamond tools but no "Diamond Tool Co". Guess no one has one...GOOGLE[/url] is happy to do what you described.

Re: Diamond Tool Company - Milling Machine
You can restrict Google searches to specific websites. You can try entering these terms:
"diamond tool" site:chaski.org -"diamond tool holder"
But it won't work. Looks like Google hasn't caught many people here talking about that company.
I entered "diamond tool holder" with a minus sign to take that term out, because without it, you get irrelevant references to a certain tool holder.
You could try other boards, entering these terms: "diamond tool" -"diamond tool holder"
Go to Google, enter those terms, and click on "discussions."

Re: Diamond Tool Company - Milling Machine
Many threads over at PM on these, but I cannot get the search to work over there.
I just googled diamond+milling+machine and got an autosearch to
diamond horizontal milling machine
and got about 1.5 passels of hits.
