I have a syl x5 speedmaster, it comes with er11 collets. It would be nice if I could use bits a little larger than 7mm shaft, but more than that I would sure like to be able to change my bits much faster. It can take several minutes to change a bit, trying to balance 2 wrenches at a time and hold a bit from falling out, drives me crazy. Then to change a collet, you have to take the nut off then find something to push the collet out of the nut. It's a reliable system, but not friendly.
Try this. We have them and they work great

Thanks. That looks really interesting. I have no idea how to call international, I don't know if my cell phone lets me do that, but I emailed them.
Those parts look good, even though the website is one of the more painful ones i've seen, but I can't seem to find any ER11 quickchange ones there?Quote:

The website is not just painful, you email them and get no replies.
Well at least they're consistent!Quote:

I love the idea though, they would make life so much easier.

I purchased the easychange holder. It is really good. I found that the easiest thing to do is call them

The guys there are very good to work with. I ordered and had the holders the next day. It is an easychange holder
Hiya Jeff. ( Scrollmaster;))have you actually seen one of these QC tool holders that will fit in your machine? Don't you need two reference numbers? Eg; R8 - ER11, MT3 - ER11 etc?
I couldn't find the ER11 tool holder on the Coventry site either.
If I understand correctly the PDF these toolholders are for R8, Morse or other arbors, the speedmaster uses a High Speed Spindle that have the ER-11 collet chuck in its axis, its not replaceable.
Its not posible to replace the Spindle with a larger collet one because these are bigger diameter and weight.

Ok thanks, I guess I just live with it. The size is ok I just hate the two wrenche changing system.
Hey there Steve, great to see you!
