What state are you in?
You know of a cnc retrofit kit made for this machine?

I'm doing well; healthy and relatively sane. (Brantford, Ontario, Canada)

As for the retrofit kits, I have no idea. I'm sure a Google search will bring up what you're after. All it takes is 3 stepper motors (4 if you're feeling industrious), associated timing belt drives to the screws via handwheel collars, a control and a software package like Mach 3. Would require plenty of troubleshooting.

This is in Canadian doll-hairs, btw. So that's what, $75 Americano? What a steal.

I have the left handwheel knob.

I like the way the head pivots. I haven't seen it done like that before. Do you know the weight of the machine?

I would kill to be able to put this in my garage. And it's a helluva deal. Good luck with your sale.

Thanks Teach

As for David's question, I'd guess the weight at 2900-3000lbs. There are readily available manuals floating around the web, but none show the weight.

We had several at a mold shop I worked in when I was 16. The heads were the cat's PJ's for drilling coolant lines in Solo cup cores, as they followed the taper of the core but all intersected at 3D angles so as to be continuous.

Unless you see something that I didn't, the overall functions are the same as a Bridgeport.

Yes, I suppose it would be the same as a BP with tilt & nod- save for the round-rams. Perhaps he was referring to tilt axis rotating on the ram, and thereby moving the nod axis with it, rather than a BP where the inverse is done. Or the totally enclosed nature of either.

The green First mill in the 1st photo has tilt only.

What I am noting is how far forward the pivot point is for knod. The Bridgeport style is much farther back. Not saying better or worse but as you tilt the head the spindle nose will change less in the Z axis.

Hi:

I do not know much about your voltages. Is the motor capable of running at different voltages like many U.S. motor? Since they went out of business in 1986 is there a source of parts for this machine that you know of?
Thank you!

I replied to George in a PM a few days ago- here's the summary:

- 600V motors are not usually capable of running on 440V. I've never seen a "600/440" designation on a motor nameplate. The motor is a face-mount (w/4 bolts), could be replaced with a 240V single phase motor for the homeshop gentlemen.
- Cincinnati-Milacron owns the Excello brand. They might have parts- the last few heads in these machines I've rebuilt used my own parts copied from the originals, so I've never actually tried to get them.
- Manuals/Partslists are available online

Did you ever sell your Excello? What taper (Cat40, BT40, Kwik-switch, etc.) does the spindle have?

Two years ago it was an R-8. Should still be the same?
