I only spent an hour reading a small part of the available information, but that short time convinced me that installing the 30 spindle would be a major advantage over the R8, to me, even in a manual mill. What I'm looking for and what you're looking for in a tool holder may be completely different, so I won't list the advantages, as I see them; however, after a few minutes reading, you'll be able to decide whether the ISO 30 tooling would be an advantage over the tooling that you now use.
