Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Sherline Auto Tool Changer

Hi Peter,

Perhaps a slightly scaled down version of what EMCO uses on their
Compact 5" lathe? There were some pix posted at one of our list
member's site, If I could only remember who...

Basically, it was a three position (6?) tool holder that was rotated by
a DC motor (I'd put in a stepper). The holder was turned slightly past
the tool position, then driven back against a pawl. Three slots held
the tool bits.
