If you want Heidenhawn style, and have the $3k for an ATC spindle, add it to your tool change subroutine FILE. There are many of us with R8 spindles that are far better off using a touch contact jig to set tlo anyway because theres no practical way to measure the tlo without doing it in real time after changing the tool when all you have is an R8 spindle. Leave it be until someone invents an R8 spindle that can be calibrated, once per tool it can hold. That hasn't happened, yet. And given the error that an extra crank on the drawbolt can give, I'm not holding my breath. For us, the realtime measurement and application of tlo is the only practical way to fly.
