Changing tools with a MT collet is a bit of a pain in that you
have to unseat the collet to get it to release. Consider an ER
collet adapter. The problem is that these use up some space from
the spindle to the table.

That, it is. My reluctance to do that is chiefly because of the
excessive length from the spindle bearing, which tends to diminish the
already limited rigidity of the M head.

How's your experience with this type of setup taking reasonably deep
cuts?
