A spindle lock is added to the Precision Matthews PM25MV milling machine to safely and quickly change the tool. The spindle lock is installed inside of the head to avoid changing the belt drive or the belt guard. Use of the spindle lock is compared to other methods of changing the tool. Faster tools changes greatly improves the productivity of the CNC conversion.
The spindle lock was designed in SolidWorks and CAM was developed in Fusion360.
The concept may be applicable to other mills including the Grizzly G0704 and Titan TM25.
