I was pretty obsessive about buying tooling for my BP for a while, but I'm pretty well equipped now. I think the only 30 taper stuff I'm still looking for is a Jacobs taper adapter.
I can see why you have interest in automating as much of the milling work as possible. Standing at a mill gets pretty tiring after a while, and I'm a perfectly healthy middle aged male. Tool changers are an issue, the ones BP sold were problematic. You'd think a power drawbar would get you most of the way to a working tool changer. It seems like the spindle nose might have to be changed out. |
