Ran across this series today andd thought that Mark did a very clever build.

Thanks for the link.
Yes. Watched that way back when I started. But given my background in machine automation I really want a tool carousel and tool changer and that means the draw bar has to be computer controlled. The compressed spring disks for TTS tooling along with a pneumatic cylinder are workable but non-functional for removing R8 tools.
It's the mix that no one has addressed AFAIK.
And as you know I'm big on really deep rabbit holes with lots of side passages.

I bought this power drawbar off ebay and it has worked really well. I had to machine some custom standoffs for it as the ones included didn’t work very well and were poorly made.
