Keep it engaged? > At the moment the loudest part of my system is the splined spindle shaft rattling in the splined pulley drive. Especially with light cuts or not engaged. Really quite annoying. Once fully loaded it doesn't rattle of course. But cheap far east mill design or construction has created one issue that ultimately I'd like to fix but that would remove the ability to have the quill go up and down for manual operations.
A permanent connection between socket and draw bar given that it's not a tight fit either would add secondary rattle. Even more annoying. And I'm not sure if the impact wrench could handle that. BTW, I took apart the old impact driver and the planetary gearbox inside is really nice. Also with a 12V supply that immediately current limited at 3A it turned slowly. So with a big enough 12V supply the old impact driver could be put into service. Not sure how well the hex driver to 3/8" socket would last but that's a potential spot for an encoder disk too. Need to think about this for a day or so.
