Sherline & Taig R8 Modified Headstock

The nice thing about using an R8 collet spindle is that it will accept Tormach’s TTS system.

In fact, it’s faster than what a small automatic tool changer can do on a mill like this. The other bonus is this; finally a thicker headstock with bigger bearings! The OEM Taig and Sherline headstocks look pretty anemic compared to the GlockCNC Heavy Duty Headstock.

Of course, they also offer a much better motor upgrade:
