Item 5.   Other Events

          Pursuant to an Amendment Number One dated as of May 31,
1995 (the "Amendment"), Cincinnati Milacron Inc. (the "Company")
has agreed with Bankers Trust Company, as agent, and the
syndicate of lender banks to amend its Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of December
31, 1994.  The Amendment will take effect as of May 31, 1995.

          The Amendment makes four significant changes to the
Agreement.  First, the final maturity date for the revolving
credit facilities (which is the latest date on which all
borrowings must be repaid) has been extended from July 20, 1996
to June 1, 1998.  Second, the maximum principal amount available
to the Company under the revolving credit facilities has, at the
Company's request, been reduced from $200 million to $150
million.  The Company will not be required to make any repayment
of borrowings to effect this reduction.  Third, a number of the
financial covenants set out in the Agreement have been amended,
partly to reflect the longer term of the revolving credit
facilities.  Fourth, the Company is authorized to make certain
acquisitions, subject to various restrictions specified in the
Amendment.
