Quick Change Mill Tooling Upgrade For The Mill (Mark 2)

Quick Change Mill Tooling Mark 1 :   • Quick Change Mill Tooling Upgrade For...  

G'day everyone,

I recently made a video where I made some quick change mill tooling for the mini mill. The old system of swapping out tooling using a simple ER 32 collet chuck was time consuming and cumbersome.

The new quick change mill tooling worked by using individual holders which held a ER 20 collet which hold the cutting tool. The holders would be able to be quickly indexed into the mill using a morse taper collet.

In the last video I used the lathe to create the individual tool holders, however I ran into issues regarding run out, due to the limitations of the lathe.

In this video I will replace the home made tool holders with import tool holders which I bought for an affordable price. I hope you enjoy the video.

Cheers
