Auto Tool Changers - EMCO Rotary Table

This could be a possibility for some if:
1. Center height is not too high, with table flat, or vertical, and tool
holder adapter on it.
2. Some way is found to take up the cutting forces.
3. Low silhouette tool holder/plate, holding several tools at known angles.

# 1. could be a problem, mechanically, depending on the machine center
height.

# 2 is going to be the biggest problem, as the worm gear would have to take
the cutting forces, from either side, or towards the center depending on
direction of the cut, unless somehow a holding device is included. Any
backlash in the table would move the tool position, and would probably cause
accuracy problems.
