depending on what it was originally painted with you may be able to wash the unwanted surface coat off with thinner.

How do I put in more than 1 pic?
Thanks ron

  All this talk of die filers on Bills and Eds thread  has got me wondering who else has/uses a die filer .


Here is my machine a Thiel Produro 115 ,precision filing and sawing machine ,weighing in at 1500 Lbs  



Stroke adjustment is infinitely between 1 5/8"  and 5" 

Variable strokes per minute of 60 - 300 

stroke and SPM adjustable on the fly . 

Table swivels in 4 directions  15 deg each way .

Also sports quick change tooling .

good old German engineering .  

Well thats mine , what else is out there ?

hi fellas, new member here to this forum and reading this thread (amongst others) with much interest.

I acquired an old Benrath die filer as part of a vintage machinery transaction awhile back and have it tucked into my rathole.  I haven't set it up for use yet due to space issues in the shop but I'd like to someday.  I haven't been able to find out much about this brand or this machine online either.  I'd welcome any input from the brain-trust here.

Here's a couple of pics I took of it before it got stashed.
