It is an ‘American Version’ of a 602 Mill.
You can tell by the ‘XLO’ cast in the headstock ’face’.
I've seen one like above, all I've seen look like mine below.
Very old photo, its since been upgraded to a piece of nitrile rubber bolted in place, same on the backside
Didn't you ask about RT storage? can't see it now.
Anyway, I made a rack for the side of the mill..... fits the RT, index head and vise. I used to lift the 12" RT into place but figured none of use are getting stronger or tougher so eventually that wouldn't end well. Splurged for the crane.
I am using belt from treadmill and magnets. Belt is highly wear resistant and good enough against hot chips and oil. There are free treadmills on Kijiji or FB all the time and you have a lot of stuff for repurpose.Just a piece of vinyl and rare earth magnets
I had one as well, both are true. The larger diameter allowed for versions with a 40 taper spindle.I had an xlo at one time, I think it had a 6” stroke on the quill as apposed to the 5 on a Bridgeport, and I think? it had a bigger spindle diameter.
