    Nice job.
    My thoughts exactly about a compressed air version. I have one of those but it lives in a cupboard. The original Bridgeport was a long stretch to loosen or tighten the drawbar so it was useful then. When I reduced the height of the head of my mill by 125 mm it was quite easy to do manually and I never reinstalled the pneumatic version. I have thought of doing an electric version but there are too many things farther up the list.
