William,   There is probably something up with your drawbar.  Check the oil level on the power pack up on top; the oil level may be low, or if the oil is seriously mucked up, change it.     Even more likely is that your Belleville washers (dish shaped things about 3-4 inches in diameter) are cracked and need replacemnet.  These things will continue to work if only a few are cracked (there are usually about 10 of them face to face), but eventually when enough are busted, your tool change will fail exactly as you have described.   Hey, did anybody see my internal involute question from yesterday?  No bites yet.   -ernie -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ray Machine Inc.

We have a SuperMax Max 7 with a BT-50 taper spindle and the tools stick in the spindle and its hard on the tool changer. I have cleaned it and oiled it and nothing seems to help.   By the way Thanks for the help with the Plywood job.   Thanks William
