CAT40 tooling seems to be more readily available than NT40 from suppliers like MariTool and Glacern. Makes sense since Haas machines use CAT40. I have been reading a bit through old posts about modifying the drawbar and keys of a NT40 machine to convert it to use CAT40 tooling.
If you were able to buy a good quality 5hp milling machine with NT40 spindle taper, would you convert the machine to accept CAT40 tooling? I have neither NT40 nor CAT40 tooling at this time.
Thanks in advance.
