Thanks guys, sorry to make you all run ragged but I'd pretty much seen all of those links....

You have my gratitude all the same tho, nice to have friends.....

What I was really looking for was if someone here had built one and perhaps get a thread going....AND like I always try to do before committing myself to anything is to see if I can weed out all the options. This often helps to prevent me or anyone else following the wrong path.
But I think that guy who sells the plans has it pretty well sussed, seems like it.
The parts are cheap, very cheap, so I was thinking of having a go for the Beaver mill at some point. After I get it up and running of course.....

The idea of smacking the draw bolt to release the collet really goes against my idea of machinery care. lets be honest, sometimes you have to give it a pretty good belt....

To me the quick change is the second benefit, not the first.....
