The dog keys are not installed on the end of the spindle, though there are slots and threaded holes. With a modern VFD on the spindle, it might be easy enough to install the tool with a slight up pressure and rotate the spindle until the the tool engages the keys and seats, but he keys would interfere with the gripper as is is now. So far, the tools seat well enough without using the keys. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
