I just sold my old Bridgeport mill and bought a new Acer 3VS, the head for which is much taller, and despite being 5-11 cannot reach the draw bar without a step stool (wasn't an issue with my Bridgeport).
I really don't want to spring for a commercial unit, so I'm reading up on DIY power draw bars that utilize cheap butterfly air wrenches.
Won't the "hammering" action eventually do harm to the draw bar or collets or both?
