Ohhh ... , that is a 24 carat "gotta have" upgrade! (Splendid video, too. :-) Unfortunately I don't have working audio on either computer, so I don't know if there are any hints on whether the nipple in the back of the INT30 holder rotates in the grabber, or somehow compressed air gets into a rotating actuator? Since my mill has spindle Z-feed, the actuator would have to rise and fall. The air hose would handle that, but there'd have to be a vertical slide to stop it helicoptering, I figure. The belville washers are the strong spring hauling in the grabber? It's a very very nice setup. (The money saved on the DIY auto drawbar will now all go on more INT30 collet chucks? OR do you make them too?) (Writing up an article for MEW could buy a few more, but if it is to become "EMC-related" via the addition of an ATC, then maybe there isn't time for that.)
