hi cosmo we also thought of something like this, but it is still slow
we are preparing a setup ( od, id and live tools ), and the part cycle is pretty long; changing the tool also takes a while
after we change the tool, we need to run 2-3 parts to adjust the offset, and this simply takes too long; too loooong
i was told about an U shape thing, that allows fast repetition when changing drills, but this setup is done outside the machine, and after that the tool is put inside the machine
it still takes too long
i need something like a renishaw, etc, so to minimize the setup time
maybe i need to consider quick change tooling not a fancy thing, but a must / kindly
