We have an ex-cell-o work center [milling machine] model 508 serial 508-048. Does anyone have any knowledge of these machine We r looking to sell it. We have lots of tooling with it. We have never set it up
Ex-cell-o 508’s were a primitive bed NC mill from the late 1970’s. The much more common 602’s were highly regarded turret mills like a B-port only heavier and imo nicer. I think the last 602’s were made mid 1980’s. 602’s came with R8 or 40 taper spindles.

IIRC there is a place in Corry, Pa doing HBMs, the newer models with hardened & ground ways.Primitive ? why, you, ... 8&^%$#))$% &^%-(* !
Are there any places left doing retros on big old stuff ? the iron is still fine, it's just the control and drives that have gone to their maker. Ox has a similar one, but smaller
Not familiar with a 508 pictures ? 608 were the ones I have been around. Canada made last made '86 or so. What taper ? R-8 or? Also pictures of tooling. Off the top of my head your area $1000-4000 depending on condition and tooling. They were a bit heaver built than a Bridgeport.
These are some pics of the Ex-Cell-o

They use up to 4 different CNC at the time. They should be 50 taper but they would do specials. (never two exactly alike).
If you like this style of machine and want a new one I know where new ones are made here in the USA. Good luck on this machine. They were fine machines in there day.
