    There is something very similar in development. Still too soon to give an ETA though.

    It is too early in the works to estimate the price. We are going to try to make it as affordable as possible.

    bt30 and nmtb30 have the same taper but the bt30 uses a pull stud and not drawbar. the two are not interchangeable.

    was just thinking if there was a 3/4" collet say with NMTB-30 taper it would be something that people could switch in and out for certain operations . you could use a regular taper for the rough heavy cuts and then to run the semi and main finish you could use the tool changer with the holders with a 3/4 shank like on the smaller mills . Then you could use a power drawbar ???

    Let me know what you think
