Hi all,

I have an older Kondia FV-1 mill with a dynapath control. The mill has no toolchanger, and uses Erickson QC-30 toolholders. Those toolholders are pretty expensive for a hobbyist. I don't mind spending the money when needed, but I was wondering if anyone has come up with a quick change solution for holding drill bits without needing a dedicated QC-30 holder for each?

I was thinking of dedicating a single QC-30 holder for drills, and hot-swapping drills in and out of that holder as the program requires. The main requirements would be quick swappability and repeatable length.

Would drill collars do the job? And just use a regular keyless chuck?

The only drill collars I've used have been cheezy, and didn't sit straight on the shank. Is there a better option?

Thanks in advance,

Lee
