I didn't ask and I don't know how you break one. The seller told me that his friend "broke it off right in the collet and I had to throw away both pieces." Sounds like he over tightened like CRAZY.
I did some looking and it appears that the drawbars from these machines has the extra long hex. I seem to recall that from when I was working at Norton Company and our department bought one of these new (no Prototrak.) Along with the smoothly rotating handles, you could change a tool without retracting the quill all the way to the top. Old habits die hard, I doubt I'll change tools that way.
