Hello!
I have a Rong Fu RF-20, as mentioned in the title. Tool changes are kind of a pain, as the spindle has a tendency to turn with the wrench when trying to tighten or loosen tooling. For the record, I am rather inexperienced with this mill (and mills in general) - I inherited it from my grandfather and have only started to use it recently.
I did find the manual online, but there doesn't seem to be any mention of such a lock; the manual just says to loosen or tighten the draw bar and strike it in order to release the tool.
Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to stop the spindle, or is there some kind of nuance to tool changes in this mill I'm unaware of?
Thanks!
