Spindle Lock, X2 Mini Mill

For a change, I actually tried using the spindle brake on my X2 mill while tightening a collet—it held firm and freed up both hands perfectly. The integral safety switch is a nice touch too, giving me peace of mind during tool changes.

The spring plunger retracts smoothly and the safety switch gives me peace of mind—no more wrestling with a spinning chuck when I need both hands free. Locks in place solidly every time, and the install is straightforward once you've got the mill apart.
