Today we're installing a power drawbar on the Precision Matthews PM935-TV knee mill. This vertical milling machine uses standard R8 collets and has a manual drawbar from the factory. I purchased an air-powerd automatic power drawbar kit, and today we'll see how hard it is to install. Spoilers: it's actually pretty easy.
