Mar 21, 2020 · I recently traded off my Bridgeport, I have had this spair mill for a while and only have used it once or twice. I suppose now is the time to clean it up and condition it as now it's my main machine. I'm hoping somebody on here is experienced with these XLO (EXCELLO) machines and can help me out with a few questions I have.

Feb 9, 2010 · I have an XLO Hey Pat, I just went out and bought a VFD. It converts single phase 220 to 3 phase 220. YOu have speed adjustement, rotation and braking capabilities. just to name a few options. NOw that does not answer your questions, but i did consider what you are proposing. I think it is a 180Y frame. NEMA design B. I would have to go out and ...

Jun 13, 2020 · From memory,20+ years ago,but hey? Swivel the turret 90* off center,crank the ram all the way out.Remove the depth stop rod,then the depth stop block.Then remove the quill pinion counterbalance spring,then prepare to remove the quill pinion.Put one hand under the quill and remove the quill pinion,quill should slip out the bottom.

Jun 14, 2020 · Here's an old PM thread I found with some pics of the quill and housing separated from the motor drive unit. Older machines used T-bolts and nuts to hold the two together, newer ones used T-nuts and socket head capscre

Mar 13, 2013 · I had a 602 head I parted out,IIRC it had the 1-1/2hp GE motor.On it the VS spring was accessed by a snap ring on the nose of the VS sheave hub.That snap ring has pressure against it from the spring.I was able to push the spring retainer cap down enough to remove the snap ring.Once it's off,the assembly unstacks-retainer cap and spring slip off followed by the …

Mar 4, 2018 · Much of the cost is in the mechanics/hardware Ballscrews, dogbone etc, some of the XLO had a air assisted motorized knee. I also did away with the Varispeed set up and operated timing belt direct, the G.B. was used for the low spindle rpm's. Mitsubishi VFD fitted for the 4 pole 3ph motor programmed for x2 the plate frequency.

Jun 27, 2013 · BTW there was two versions, one had EX-CELL-O on the head, the other XLO vertically. They came in 1.5hp and 2hp heads, the GE pancake motors were the same footprint but the head casting was different for each. Max.

Sep 29, 2012 · I have both the Sieg X3 and SX3 mills and am very satisfied with them. The "back-lash" can be "end-play" between the table ends and the collars (1 each end) and/or and "rock/ing" of the lead-screw nut on the cross-slide - all of which are or can be cumulative (they add up) - to any back-lash between the lead-screw and the nut.

Nov 15, 2009 · my full sized XLO doesn't have a feed even half of that....feed rate has to take into account the machines removal rate capabilities. that's over 006 chip load - i thought 6 ipm was aggressive. a chip is formed along a shear plane ahead of the tool.
