Power Drawbar For The Milling Machine - Power(less) Drawbar

G'day everyone,

In this video I will be showing you my take on a manually operated power drawbar. An automated drawbar will make tool changes much faster and easier for me. Most of the common designs call for the use of an air compressor, but my air compressor probably isn't up to the task, so I will need an alternative. I will be taking inspiration from Edward E, and making a mechanism based on two second class levers to act as my power drawbar.

Milling machine quick too changer.
