    Default Floating dust collector for ATC.

    Here are some photos of a floating dust collector to accommodate the Automatic Tool Changer for Joe's build.

    cool idea, I love the mods you've made.. so you never told us, can you explain how that garage door mechanism works to keep the tooling covered? is it as simple as it appears or did you add something more mechanical in?

    That was a temporary thing till i got the dust collector built and yes it is as simple as it appears, just cardboard hooked to the cross brace.

    nice.. it would be nice as a temporary thing as well, but it depends on how good of a dust collector one has I suppose.. I figure I shouldn't have any dust really, atleast not any airborne dust from my machine if I run a dedicated pipe to my cnc area

    before I go asking questions let me tell you this is an absolutely FAN-BLOODY-TASTIC idea, I know it's been said before but again WELL DONE, you are a pure genius..

    could you tell me from the bottom of the collet nut on the router to the bottom of the quick tool changer what is this length, also could you instead of using a grub screw to hold the tool, could the bottom ring (the ring that sit below the GROUND-CIRCLIP) Be somehow converted to screw down onto a collet to fix a tool in place, thus ensuring greater accuracy(less runout) and higher torque(souldn't rotate)

    ALso how did you get the dust skirt to raise and lower ??/

    I can tell you that the 1/4" bits fit very, very snug into the Holders, and I can not tell of any runout effect on my cuts.

    Had to make 3 modifications to the the Rapid changer with 1/2" shaft from HTS for use with the router.

    That is really,really nice work!

    Do mind telling us what modifications you made to the tool-changer for use with your router, apart from the 1/2" shaft?

    Also, you said earlier that you had to make some of your own tool-holders. I am interested in this tool-changer, but all my tools are metric - did you cut your own tool holders from bar-stock, or did you just bore out genuine toolholders to your required diameters?

    Cheers.

    I had to cut a slot for the snap ring to get more travel on the spring. Also used a stronger spring.

    I cut all but 5 of my tool holders from 1" round stock.
