Hi BBB
The fan was to help cooling, one or two blokes on the various websites have had problems with cooling, so I thought I have quite a few fans, stick one on just in case. I didn't have a problem and I think those who have must have been trying to work their mills too hard. You are right about the drawbar, it will be M10 so you will need to swap the collets.
Cheers Dek.
P.S. Are you going to the Chester open days, (23rd-27th June) ?
