Thanks!
Same here, I just get puzzled looks.
Also looking for operating manual. Did a search for that, only found parts list.
As it stands, I would need to measure the collet ID, and buy only end mills with that sized shaft?
Is the NMTB a respected setup? What else would work for tool holding in this design?
I am pretty sure NMTB 30 is a more modern machine taper. If I am wrong, I still think it is a more "wanted" type of taper for professional machines, for instance. I have a BP, with an R8 spindle. It is fine for me, but many truly industrial machines have NMTB style spindle tapers. R8 is probably more widespread, but there is plenty of 30 tooling out there.
