Would you happen to know where a detailed picture of the Emco jack bar can
be seen Paul?

I believe any machine that anyone who uses Morse tapers (or any other
locking-type tapers) would benefit greatly with the machine modification of
a lever release for tooling.

No collets. I don't use it very often and changing tooling is even
less frequent. A consistent minimum acceptable tightening torque will
solve the problem.

My Emco lathe has a milling head unit that uses Morse #2 collets. It
uses a jack bar and a threaded cap to press the collet out. Is your
mill adaptable to something like that?
