I think it is supposed to turn your regular router into a auto change router?

This is a tapping chuck. It's used with a mill to tap holes. If you're looking for a QC you should be able to adapt this depending on your router diameter.

I have noticed you seem to have searched every CNC nook and cranny on the WWW! Well done.

The Midwest device that Gene refers to is pretty much as good as it gets by a long shot when it comes to tool changer prices. They indicate that you need to add a couple of lines of code to each file or tool path so not quite plug and play. My gut say's that a tool changer may be overkill for an upgraded PR but that's not an expert opinion.

Your gut is not telling you the truth. :D:D:D

I really don't think I will be buying one but there is no reason why it would not be good for the PR...?
