I agree the question is vague and because of the picture I think Andy's right and NKP216 means any tool changer in general that has the end mill or bit in the collet prior to inserting it into the spindle. In that case, google vmc tool changer <https://www.google.com/search?q=vmc+tool+changer&safe=off&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi7_cOG79bfAhVDHDQIHQ82AvYQ_AUIDigB&biw=1536&bih=762>. Also, there are several examples on the web where guys have built their own tool changers for various milling machines. I think Tormach has a very simple system w/ collet holders on the x-axis carriage. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
