Insert tooling up into spindle taper. Rotate
tooling until you feel tooling keyway align with
protruding pin inside spindle taper so you can
fully seat it.

With one hand holding tooling in place,
thread drawbar into tooling until tooling draws

drawbar until snug.

makes tool removal difficult and may
damage tooling and threads.
