Possibly the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Nice, no, GREAT JOB !!
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?
Interesting concept I love the mods you have done.

JLT, very nice!
Where did you get those long bristles from?
JLT you are quickly becoming my new CNC hero
You are really a creative mind. I wounder what new thins you are going to surprise us. Just don't stop please.
You got my attention and my vote.

JLT, nice job on the machines and tool changer. Keep up the good work.
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 ??/
Hi JLT,
All the links to the videos are dead, could you upload those videos again?
May be to google video.
Thanks
Calvin

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.
