As a journeyman toolmaker making indexable carbide tooling, I have used
both Excello and the Bridgeports in our shop (we had 22 Excello and 6
Bridgeports). I wholly agree that without the slightest of doubts, I
would use any Excello over a Bridgeport. We had changed over 15 vertical
Excellos to CNC and continued to work to .0002" tolerances with no
trouble at all. When I was finishing my tenure with them, the
Bridgeports were actually up for sale and being replaced with Excellos.

We had tool shops in St. Catharines, Ontario (where I was) and Windsor,
Ontario, Canada.
