Ex-Cell-O Right Angle Attachment
- Thread starter thestelster
- Start date
I received the #40 taper shell mill arbor from KBC, installed it into the gear and bearing, and into the right angle attachment. Put in the specified oil, well close enough. It specs A.G.M.A. No. 5EP oil, which is equivalent to ISO VG220, so I put in Shell Omala S2 GX 220 Industrial gear oil, which I use in the Ex-Cell-O gear box.
Had to fiddle around a bit to get it onto the mills spindle, tightened the draw bolt, and then the holding screws. And all good. Hand turned it first, then low gear, then 1000rpm. All good. I put in an end mill just to do a test. And noticed it going in reverse! Ok, no problem, just put the mill in reverse, did the test cut....good! I'm happy.

Looks great, and interesting to find out it just uses a shell mill arbor, and not a custom machined part specific to the head. That's smart engineering. Now I know if I ever stumble across a 40 taper version for my 602 it's easy to swap. And I also know who to message about buying the old r8 one to fit my machine 
.
Thanks for sharing that.

Yes, I was happy that it was just a plain shell mill. I was dreading the thought of making a proprietary unit.Looks great, and interesting to find out it just uses a shell mill arbor, and not a custom machined part specific to the head.

Though Dan, I can now use the old R8 shell mill arbor and attach a 2" indexable milling cutter!!
This attachment was probably a product that the Canadian Ex-Cell-O Plant made for the mills.
I remember that the larger assembly plant on Weston Road in London, Ontario did carry out intermittent product development for the 602 verticals as well as large milling heads with carbide cartridges for boring and surface machining.

Do you have a library of documents covering the Ex-Cell-O #602 ?Yes, I was happy that it was just a plain shell mill. I was dreading the thought of making a proprietary unit.

I was a machinist at their Special Tooling plant in the 1980s.
Hi Len, I have the owners manual no.52981, that I got when I bought the mill 30 years ago, and I recently downloaded the other manual no. 52672. They seem pretty identical. My machine has "XLO" vertically on the head, vs the other one which says "EX-CELL-O". With 2HP motor, table feed, but no one-shot lube unfortunately.
The XLO model was the American version of the 602 Ram Type mill.
All Canadian versions had the full ‘Ex-Cell-O‘ in the casting face of the headstock.
If you are missing anything a guy in Cambridge, near me, rebuilds #602 mills and has access to the remaining Canadian parts inventory.

He is out of the repair shop at times, but, he did have a lady taking messages.
It usually takes a couple calls or messages.

Thanks Len, I'll write that information down.
Is there a difference between the 2 mills?
