any recent advances in DIY toolchangers?
hello! i am digging up toolchanger threads some more.. anyone know of any recent movement here?
i want a way to switch 2 to 8 end mills in a small laminate trimmer.. it seems really hard to make these 'ball-spring' holder that wont be horribly eccentric, and the products ive seen that work well on full size routers probably wont work so well on a 1hp laminate trimmer. but then, maybe someone has tried it?
anyone know of a smaller version of this basic concept, or other similar things that work? i remember seeing a similar arrangement sold as a quick change system for regular hand drills. it had tons of runout, but maybe someone has seen this product and has some ideas?
anyone actually tried to make a little device with a solenoid grabber and a stepper or servo to physically loosen the normal router-style collet?
thanks in advance!
