Are folks using the Brother through spindle air just for grippers or for milling steel as well? Steel milling is awesome with through spindle air.

I believe some are.

This is one of those things I am eventually throwing on my machine to start doing some testing with, but that list has a bunch of stuff on it (updated probing macros, exploring G54.2 and G68.2 so we can better support it/work with CAM post devs, new tool setting and probing wrapper programs, testing some wacky spindle gripper tricks, etc etc).

That's exactly the reason I wanted it. 99% of my work is steel, and frankly I'd rather not use cutting fluids except when necessary.

I've switched all my steel endmills over to Techniks coolblast holders and use air. Works great.
