Sherline Tool Changer - Sneak Peek

I have uploaded a movie of a six position automatic toolchanger that
I have developed to fit on a Sherline Vertical Mill. It is entirely
self contained and requires no modification to the mill except the
addition of a spacer block between the headstock and the Z column.

It operates entirely from one double acting air cylinder. The tool
change takes approximately 1 second. It will work with CNC or manual
machines.

The toolchanger will be entered in the 2003 Sherline Machinist's
Challenge and can be seen at NAMES at the end of April.

Kits, plans, and parts will be available this summer.

Thanks
Joe V.
