Snip...

Are you looking to make an automatic tool change or just have a manual quick
change setup?

Sherline has the tool holders that screw on the OD thread that is on the
Sherline spindle. You can pre set the end mills in these holders (end mill
adapters) and simply screw them on and off. They have always worked fine for
my quick change applications on the machines that I have built.
