bEAutiful video 🌻🎉🎉

Hey Thanks for sharing this brother Tom. We have 1 of these machines at TSU in Nashville Tn, the table X axis is almost completely Locked up/Seized, do You know Why it would be doing that?... Afraid it could have something to do w/ the power feed, but thought u might know. Thanks again man. Take care. - Leeroy

Going to possibly buy one identical to yours this weekend, moving my shop and need to replace my old mill anything specific about the excello mill you would recommend looking out for on them. Nice machine by the way

Just found your channel and subscribed. Very nice work

Eu quero como conseguir

My Ex cello is exactly like yours And the read out is on the front like yours.

Remarkable job! I’m so impressed. I’m starting to restore mine and I hope to be able to achieve this quality. 👍😎👍 cheers we’ll done!!

You might never see this comment Tom, but I just bought one of these and I am so thankful that you took the time to go over this particular mill and explain every lever. The manual is photo copied in black and white, so seeing the details in the pictures is nearly impossible.

Does the automatic feed in the z axis have automatic stop?

Thx for the info!

Where the ev civi?

I am wondering Tom, I am trying to get my power feed to work, when I engage my clutch and pull my lever and have my spindle feed revolution set it does nothing, what could be my problem

Very helpful. My chuck keeps falling out and I think it's due to the arbor not being properly clean. I appreciate the video!

OK eventually 602 owners will see this. I'm looking for the drive belt size/part number for one of the last machines built, I think mine was built in 1983/4 any help would be appreciated. I've heard that two different belts were used, one for the older and one for the new machines.

you make a good tool tom, now Ive see the video I copy your piece thank for the video tom

Great video Tom!! I have the exact same machine. I wanted to rebuild the head and was wondering if you knew where I might get a rebuild kit if they exist. Appreciate any help you can give me.

Hi Tom. I'm here in L.A. California and there's an Excello on Craiglist for 1500.00. I called the guy and he sells machines. He said this is a "hobbyist" mill. Don't you disagree? I may buy it. I want it to make prototypes and practical things for products I want to sell. It must be super precise because one of them is a measuring tool. What do you think? You can see the ad on Craiglist Los Angeles. Hope you get this message.

After seeing Pugs pen in Inwood I always wondered who made these, was always sat pride of place on the desk there. Epic work, nice product!

I could use this tool all the time I am a commercial electrician

its now 2021 and i need to know where i can buy one

This looks like a great place for an induction heater.

My Dad had 4 or 5 Excello (2 floors/big shop). Great Machine. My Dad knew the guy who started Bridgeport...and Excello. (I think we made parts for both). If I remember right, Excello had an identity crisis. Trying to find a profitable market...and it wasn't Turret Mills. So they offered the business model to a company in Taiwan. And the took to it like a Duck to water. And they went the other direction. Cheaper manufacturing was the target market. Where Excello was "Top Shelve". This pissed off a lot of Toolmakers. This is...and was a "Terrifically Made Machine"!!!

I found this link to figure out what a DPT Wrench is used for, genius! (for those of us who don't do this type of work kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX20n3d5h8-Lnsk

Like everyone else I did not think it would be used for that purpose 😀

What is this ?

Fascinating process Tom... and a pretty sweet tool as a result! Can you talk Greg into composing/performing a musical score for videos like this? The opening 'scenes' seem perfectly suited to some catchy licks! Best, Matt

this was was good with a bit explanation

Is there a tool for removing the chuck from the arbor?

Thanks Tom, just the info I needed!

Hate, that I am just seeing this. I really want one!! Freaking awesome.

play at half speed starting at kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6uTiI13jaeHeqs and you can make out the commentary

"She's in there"? Usually, he's in there.

Any update?

Thanks for developing this. I’m an Australian electrician. Where can I buy one?

Yah Mein kharidna chahta hun

6:20 Assembly grade grease

Cute little bugger!

So I need an arbor that will fit the jt and the other end to fit in my tail stock correct?

Are these still available?

The DPT Wrench Link above goes to a blank page. How can I order one?

Does anyone know if and when i can buy it again?

I like a good jaw stop. Secure and reliable.

The only useful part of this video was the 3 second at the end where the stop was shown. The rest was vague “entertainment”.

Incredible fabrication skills, my friend! Well done!

I have an early version of the same machine as you set up the exact same way. Someone has robbed the control box for the power feed off of mine so I don't have any idea what kind of motor or control that I need for the power feed. Wouldn't still happen to have your control box be interested in selling would you?

Wow! Some serious shit. Can i buy one for my shop?

Shoot me a message when you get em, would love to buy one. Are color options available?

How do I buy one

Thanks for the video. I’ve got a question: when machining the back side it looked like you set the part into a matching profile already in the fixture surface, but i couldn’t tell exactly whether you swapped out the fixture for that, or whether it was under your stock all along, OR whether you may have machined it in after doing the first side. If you’re doing production of these things I would guess it was there all along but am just curious. Cool stuff.

На кастет очень похоже.
