Jan did one for my Mill.  It uses BT30 tool holders.  I am not familiar 
with tool holding on the router.  We used the carousel component for 
storage and presentation of the tool.  We used pneumatic cylinders for 
draw bar and movement of the tool to and from the spindle.  We also had 
to make sure the spindle stopped in the right orientation for the tool 
change.
