Hi guys I'm a newbie (still in school, I graduate in may) I have been researching mills and accessories for a while so I can get the right one for me for my shop.
Any ways I am doubly screwed not only am I vertically challenged but I was hurt in a car accident and I have trouble with steps and reaching above my shoulders so the draw-bar causes me issues when changing tools. Which causes me to some times use what ever tool is in the collet rather than the right tool. So I have been looking at power draw-bar setups I'm planning on a variable speed mill so I don't have to bother with belts to change the speed but I want a vertical knee mill like a 9X49.
I don't have a shop air compressor and I really didn't want one because of the space and noise.
All of the power draw-bar setups I have found are air powered, are there any all electric models?
Anybody got a suggestion or a DIY design?
Thanks guys
