    Probably either iso30 or HSK style. depends on spindle HP and manufacturer.

    Keep in mind that an iso30 toolholder with nut and ER32 collet will be close to $200 each, not including the bit. So a set of 5 tools for a toolchanger can easily cost $1200-$1500.

    FYI. You can save a good bit of money if you get tool holders from mari tool. I have at least a dozen of them and I am very happy with them so far. Albeit, I have nothing to compare them to since these are the first set of toolholders I've ever had, and I bought based on lowest price. But they seem to be of good quality. $100 for a tool holder, $14 for an er collet.
