Seems to be discontinued, but it does look like it screws on to a standard spindle nose. http://www.hightechsystemsllc.com/rapid_changer.html The drawings are available for free: http://www.hightechsystemsllc.com/pt_rapid_changer.html I think that a problem with any such system is in getting a tight enough clamping force using only the spindle motor or Z-axis drive. I can envisage a system that presented itself to some sort of tightening/loosening fixture. A modification of the Kwik-Switch system to suit the ER20 taper might be possible. (you would need to use solid collets with tabs) -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
