Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Sherline Auto Tool Changer

Terry,
I think KBC has a tool holder like this. As Ballendo pointed out, it can't
be
friction locking. So, IMO collet can do the job as a simplified version.
The best case would be to get something like this of the shelf. I was
thinking of ATC for a while since its the only missing link for a hobbyists.
Regards, Alex - will try find KBC part later.
