Don't want to get into '****ing on trees' but an excello 602 is a BP clone
and the stock model weighs in at about #300 less than a BP..
I've seen a 602 run and .. no big deal.. (not to say I haven't seen some
kickass Excello machines)

But back to your problem... You have my table of likely gear ratios.. pick
which one suites you, next closest is 13x80, which *could* be in the ball
park, but just as far off on the other end... There isn't any magic here,
you see the ratios that are generated,... "ya pays yer money and ya takes
yer chances"

I also have trouble with your statment
" I had 1765 counts more than this in 100 turns, or nearly 1/2 a revolution
of the spindle"
If I read you origonal post correctly thats 1765 counts in 100 turns or
17.65 counts in ONE turn.. Hmmm that sure sounds like 6.125 to me.. but hey
I just own a wimpy Bridgeport....

Dissasemble and count teeth......... and let Grant and I know when it comes
up 6.125 :-)

My bet is that it's a 6.125 ratio.. Note it's NOT prime but neither is my
Bridgeport (it's 8.25)


I'm certain its slightly different from 6.125, that was my first estimate.
This is (6.125*4000*100) = 2,450,000 counts. I had 1765 counts more than
this in 100 turns, or nearly 1/2 a revolution of the spindle.

The machine is an Excello model 602. An Excello looks like a bridgeport J
head on steroids. Made in Canada. I've never found a manual for it.
