I've got a CAT40 spindle on one mill, and a BT40 on the other.
I bought my NSK high speed spindle with a CAT40 holder.....
But I'd like to run it in my BT40 machine.
Of course the taper is the same, but the threads are 5/8-11 in one, and M16 in the other.
Does anyone sell a pull stud with 5/8-11 threads but the pull stud for my BT40 spindle?
Is there something I don't know about that makes this a bad idea?
It would just be this one tool and I would always hand load/unload it!
If no one sells it, and no one tells me I'm being dumb, I'll just make one....but would rather pay someone else.
