Looking nice, I've started using a hydraulic holder for end mills so I can switch sizes using collets without taking the holder out of the spindle. For drills, countersinks and taps I'm still using my geared drill chuck like a sucker haha
Thanks. I won't be using the system for milling. Drilling - tapping - countersinking - spotting + engraving are the machining types I will stick to. Having a dti and an edgefinder are also very handy too.
You could use that system on gang lathe tools. Perhaps of you combined that with a length setter, you could make all the tools the same length as each other for simpler CNC datum setting and for safety of not hitting work with another tool, while using the currently selected tool.
I'm going to upload these being used on a manual centre lathe. I will also look at adapters for my gang tooling on my CNC lathe. There is a recent upload showing me using them on a mill with an R8 holder. Thanks for the tip.
@@machinists-shortcuts I saw that one. I wondered about keeping the tools to the same length on there as well. Good for a CNC router, if the tool doesn't slip with torque demands.

Ive been out of touch for some time. You have impressed me again.
Cheers Greg 😊
Welcome back! Thanks for the support.
Very cool!
Cheers Alec. I'll post a video soon showing them working on a few machines.

Pure genius!

It's just an adaption of what has been available for years. I'm sure if I search for long enough I will find something similar.
Whats the name of this style toolholders? I would like to adapt this for my machine 😅
These ones are GT12 holders. I have a few more demonstrations to upload using the system on various machine tools.
Very good, yet again. Where is the QR chuck from? I assume not shop made.
AliExpress. 😀
Can you provide a link? I tried searching for GT12, but all I get is the collets or a tension/compression chuck. Thanks
@@machinists-shortcuts have you got a description or a link?

This is standard issue for CNC machines, been using ball lock adapters for years on taps. I don't recommend them for milling cutters.
Thanks Terry. I modified the geometry of the adapters for less axial play. I won't make any for milling though apart from the one I use for engraving.
