Excello mill

[Eyerelief]

I decided to try and replace the quill return spring on my late model 602 mill. I can't seem to find one anywhere so I got to wondering if a different spring would work / be modified to work. Does anyone know of a suitable replacement or the width and length of the quill return spring on the 602..........or where I might look for a NOS or used one?
Thanks

so little info.
I would think you would want to provide width, length if possible, weight ..
maybe a pic.
Just going by 602 limits your audience.

I surely apologize. Unfortunately, the broken spring was discarded long before I bought the machine. The manual shows an outline drawing of a side view but is likely not to scale and only appears as a small black and white box. That is why I had asked for length and width, I have nothing to go on. Maybe an impossible endeavor.

ah, my bad, I didn't notice you were asking for length/width. maybe I stopped reading b4 that.

you know a lot of the clones accept parts from other clones. obviously that's why your asking.
is it worth giving MSC or someone else a call and asking, or a machine reseller?

These folks specialize in Bridgeport machines but are very knowledgeable and helpful. You might give them a call. Maybe a BP part will work for you.

Yeah H&W carriers a few things for the Excello.

Here is a generic one on E-bay. Maybe worth the 19 bucks to take a chance on it and see if you can make it work.
