Re: Automatic or easier tool changes for R8 mills ?

I recently purchased Sears' RouterBit Connector/Adaptor Kit
for use on my Bridgeport Mill. Collet selection is limited to 1/4
and 1/2 inch. I can live with the inconvenience since the Kit with
4 collets lists at $29.95 & collets(Router Bit adaptors) are 3 for
$9.95. The system utilizes Ball lock retainers similar to Royal
and collets have 2 retaining ears.It's not heavy duty stuff but
most router work isn't.
