Hi,

The reason I asked is because I have just removed the tool-changer off my
CNC Lathe, see earlier post as to why. Anyway I am in the process of taking
it to bits and am suprised, considering how expensive these things are, at
how simple the whole thing is.

I would also like one for my miller and have been thinking along these lines
for some time. I have some ideas but have yet to draw them up yet. Not
enough time and too many other things to do. When I get around to it I'll
probably post the design in the files section.

Regards,

Terry
