I recently obtained two Ex-cell-o 602 milling machines. The 1st one of them is in pretty good shape, the 2nd is primarily going to to be a parts donor for the 1st one. I have identified a couple issues so far and it hasn't even been powered up yet.
1st question, the better condition mill came with the 1 1/2 HP motor and the parts mill has the 2 HP motor, should I or could I put the 2 HP motor into the keeper mill?
2nd question, when we rotated the head to clear the garage door, the head didn't rotate via the gear, but rather just fell like a 500# rock into my lap. It doesn't appear that the worm gear for the head rotation (90*) works properly. However, the worm gear for rotation does work in the parts mill. How much of a job is it to remove the non-functioning worm and replace it with the working one from the parts mill?
3rd Question, the keeper mill has a non-functioning Servo 100 power feed. We tried removing the power feed but don't have the replacement inner end piece that has been replaced with the power feed. Any ideas on troubleshooting the power feed or finding the replacement (non-power feed) inner end section that sits between the table end and the graduated dial?
I have used a mill a few times, but and absolutely a novice. I appreciate any advice.
