Make a round rack with some sort of motor to spin it, sensors for each tool. The rack should be on rails with an air cylinder to push the rack out and retract it, make it stop dead under the spindle and set up switches to tell the machine/plc whats going on.
Really not too difficult to build, more difficult to get all the IO and programming right.
One of those things that would be very fun to build.
