R8 option for Taig?

[kaloalex]

I want to use quick change tooling on my Taig mill. The two marketed options I can find are:

and

http://www.hightechsystemsllc.com/in...es/Page837.htm

They both have their strong points on the price/performance charts, I suppose, but they both require an R8 spindle.
I have a Taig mill with an ER spindle. Very nice, but not an R8.
So...how can I change this?

Anyone?

This does not require R8... It attaches directly to the Taig Spindle

Ah...hadn't realized that. So all I need is a replacement taig spindle for my ER.
Thanks.

Yep, they are cheap, keep the ER as it is more accurate than the QC and you can swap them fairly easily.

I think the QC uses ER collets too...
