    Power Draw Bar and Table Mounted Rack Tool Changer?

    An earlier post got me thinking...

    How hard would it be to make a simple table mounted rack tool changer if you have the power draw bar?

    Ive seen a few on this forum. I wonder if there are any plans that could be adapted? Anyone working on this?

    I have trouble getting my collets to come out of the spindel (tapping on the bolt with the wrecnh is not enough) is any one else run into this?

    I am running the Tormach power draw bar (beta version) and have not had that problem unless there is not enough air pressure with the draw bolt adjustment. If that is the case then I just back off on the draw bar tightness for the air pressure used. Then all of the TTS tools release easily.
