Thought it would interest Iggy and DoN


Neat. But I find myself wondering whether he has removed the
key in the R8 spindle -- since there was no fumbling to rotate the
holder going into the spindle.

And I would like to see the actual interface between the motor
(an impact wrench, I think) and the top of the drawbar. It seemed to
engage a lot more easily than I would have expected with the possibility
of the hex at the top of the drawbar being out of phase with the hex
socket on the impact wrench.

Enjoy,
DoN.


You guys have never seen those before? They have been around in machine
shops for nearly 20 yrs in one brand or another.
