trapper:
Should imagine its a floating tap holder with compensation to stop tap breaking-collets are the hardest thing to source although like all things can be made inhouse if need be

appletree:
It has a parallel bore and it is possible to change the collet, although I only have the MT2 one, there is no slipping clutch or similar.

The above should be a more suitable picture via Photobucket

trapper:
Does it have anything in the bore like a spring loaded ball bearing,can see this being a quick change toolholder like type used on radial drills have a straight shank drill in collet drill hole,leaving spindle running pull the drill out replace with a chamfer tool,chamfer hole pull it out stick tap in and tap the hole-or reamer-or c/bore etc,etc idea is change the tools quick without stopping spindle or moving the posistion of spindle

appletree:
In answer to the question no there is no quick release mechanism as described, I have a set of those, but this is something different. When I get a minute I will post some different images.  I rather hoped someone would say yea I have one of those it does this! Seemingly not the case.

AdeV:
I don't have one (nor have I ever used one), but from your description it sounds like it would be used to self-centre drill bits in existing holes - or reamers s you suggest. I do have a tapmatic tapping head, that allows the tap to float within reason, thus allowing it to find its own centre, I'm guessing this is the same idea.
