I only wish I could get machines like this into my basement. I have picked up quite a few of the actual Erickson stuff for <$30/holder on eBay and Practical Machinist, they're out there just don't expect to go from zero to completely tooled for a song like you could with R8 or regular NMTB stuff. If he has a lathe and possibly a tool post grinder - I have also had some luck with removing the stop screw in my spindle collar (though thats mostly because of trouble with loose face mills, not so much to get additional clearance for non-Erickson compliant tool holders). I know Brideport offered some oddball spindles so in chance that your friend has an Erickson QC-40 spindle like my Lagun does this page may help him out: and It's also very rare though, so tool holders are expensive. The Bridgeport Boss has no real way to add a tool changer, but the quick switch tooling is very fast to change and works well.
