Owners of the Precision Matthews PM25-MV Milling Machine quickly discover that changing tools without a spindle lock for the R8 spindle can be extremely challenging. This 3D printed part makes it easy to temporarily hold the spindle in place while changing tools, ensuring the machine remains safe and secure. The lightweight design requires no modifications to the machine, making it a convenient solution. Some users have pointed out that this method is not technically accurate for loosening or tightening the spindle, as the flats are actually located on a collar used to secure the return spring cup.
