Pm 727 Power Drawbar

[lpeedin]

Due to the extremely limited space between the motor & spindle on the 727, and possibly many other bench top mills, the idea of an air powered drawbar was doubtful. However, I decided to see what I could come up with and am extremely pleased with the results. I have over 14 GB of video that I will have to wade through to put together a build series, but here are a few pictures that hopefully will whet your appetite.

I will be putting together a multi-part video series that will include drawings & measurements in the event others are interested in building something similar.

Last attempt at posting the pix - reminds me of trying to nail Jello to the wall.

Thanks for the comments guys. I am really enjoying it - it makes changing mills/collets much easier. I started the editing last evening on the video series of the build and will start posting it on YouTube next week.

Yes, I have a 5 part series on my channel. Here is a link to Part 1, from there you'll have access to my channel and other vides as well.
