Hi Gene,
I have taken to using an impact screwdriver tool on the
drawbar, and means to rack it up and down must be devised just to engage
it with the drawbar.
I have a commercially made drawbar that works like this. The impact
driver is simply pushed down by a pneumatic ram which is driven at the
same time the driver is energized. The motor starts spinning as it
drops, allowing the drive spline to line up with a spline the drawbar.
A 5i25 simply doesn't have enough pins.
Do you already have a 5i25? AFAIK you can have multiple cards so you
could simply add another.
Les
