We have live tools from WTO, Heimatech, Eppinger, Lyndex and MD tool here. I just watched the ****tiest most awful tool change on an MD holder I've ever seen the damn tool has a spindle flat, the wrench slipping off with gravity, the guy dumped an endmill in the pan - wrecked it brand new. He about put himself in the hospital with stiches, the holder requires bolts get removed from the turret for tool changes already, I tried to help, and got it finally tight for the guy, but it was really maybe 15 minute end mill change in a twin turret. UGLY. It made me want to slap a person at MD Tool. The body of the tool is metal- maybe they should have made the wrench magnetic. That was just a mess.

Worst tool to change in the shop. I wish there was a solution but I'd have to get into product development for MD tool to solve it.

It's a nice tool, but geeze - how do you design one with no plan for changing the tool?
