9x42 table. Its actually .250" thicker than my Series 2 Bridgeport. Overall its a noticeably more stout piece of equipment. I like the cooky look of the head angled towards the right side. Which is where i stand, as do most when operation.

I can take more pics of areas for those that are interested...

Excello are stout mills, made in London Ontario, Canada. They weigh approximately 2200 lbs, for a model such as that pictured. Your casting indicates a pre-1968 machine. I’m looking on a phone in a post-surgical stupor, so forgive the lack of detail, but that head is NOT supposed to be canted over. I can’t see if the flange is OEM or not.
 
And you have an extra 1" of quill length. I love my old EX-CELL-O. Stout machines, shame that they didn't survive. Congratulations on your latest score. Good luck.

A later model of your mill with a little larger table has pride of place in the Harvard Physics Machine Shop, where it's reserved for the instructor/master toolmaker and used to make the parts where accuracy matters. It also, I believe, can take a 1" endmill instead of 3/4" like on a B-port.
