Looking around. It appears the only difference is the threads for the drawbar. Found this on another place.

Not my info. What I captured and pasted.


Cutting oil is my blood.
 
I’m sure the OP will find the NT30 superior to R8.

That TTS system will continue to be great on the round column, or will easily find a new home around here.

Second benmychree. NMTB 30 is massively more rigid than R8. Don't go backward here.

Put the R8 up 4sale, use the funds to buy NMTB30.

so i have chance to get a real nice rf45 clone. it appears to be nt30 not r8. i have tons of tts tooling i use on my r8 mill so this saddens me. How difficult would it be to convert the nt30 to r8. Are the same taper. My understanding is that nt30 is a shorter taper. Any help is welcomed. Thanks for reading my rant
