Syil X3 Tool Change Question

[Wade16]

I have a nice Syil X3 CNC conversion mill and would like tips on holding the quill from rotating durring tool changes. I use an Allen wrench to tighten and loosen the R8 draw bar, but the quill wants to turn while I am doing that. Is there a way to hold the quill from turning while doing a tool change?

Hey there Wade...On the bottom of your Spindle (where the R8 inserts) there should be 2 holes these; are for a Spanner Wrench.
you might have to make one.But thats how I tightened my collets,until I made a Power Draw Bar....Hope this Helps You...
