Dave,
     Honestly  I have never heard of those before and I am lost when it
comes to all of the specifics of couplers for my mill. Those look pretty
cool but I did not like hearing of the broken split beam ones from that
other fellow. I was liking the looks of those. The disk type apparently are
heavy duty and I am now investigating those models. Some of the websites
don't show pricing and that often means if you have to ask you cannot
afford it LOL.... What kind are they using in modern Machining centers
nowadays? Peace

Pete
