ATC Installation

[wbleeker]

Hi Guys
I know it will be in the manual, but I have just received my ATC and noticed another drawbar and collet in the box. Is the drawbar different to the one that comes with the PDB and is the collet just a spare?
As always top marks to Tormach for their customer service, I ordered the ATC last week and it is in my hands today on the other side of the world (two hours south west of Sydney, Australia)

I used my original for several months and just recently installed the on that Came with the ATC. The original seemed to work fine.

Thanks David, Neil 4200 USD a bit over 900 USD freight to here plus GST for Julia and co, I only just got it this afternoon so no pictures yet. You may be able to get cheaper freight if you go through the Australian distributor.

I believe the collet in the box has extra springiness to it so it will release tools more reliably with a higher drawbar pull. If you have tool pullout, you might try that collet.
