Hi folks,
Been looking for one of these things for a while and so far haven't bumped into anything using various key words. So, do any of you have a link to someone selling such? Thanks for you time, Doug

What does 'ATC' stand for? - GWE
Automatic tool changer. May be more worthwhile to just buy a used machine that already has one...

Automatic Tool Changer? Lane
Yes, Automatic Tool Changer for CNC mill.
I'm beginning to wonder about that Robin...
Thanks for your replies Doug
--Well there used to be a couple of them. One I recall consisted of nothing more than a tool rack that was bolted to one end of the mill table; program a move to the rack, drop a tool and pick up another. It presupposes that you've got something like a pneumatic or electric tightener/untightener for the drawbar. These are available, too, of course.
