CAT 50 to MT6 tool holder


Recommended Posts

This is an example of CAT-50 to MT5. 

I am leaning towards a mt5 to mt6 adapter. Then machining the mt5 portion to a straight shank and putting it in an side lock endmill holder.

Unfortunately I don't have a good way to machine a blank CAT50 holder. As I don't have access to the machine its going on.

Take and turn down the end to a 2.00 diameter and then put Weldon flats on it and hold that in a CAT50 2.00 holder.

Yes that is not a cat50. that is NMTB50. not the same. Taper is same but no pull stud. Made for drawbar machines.

Yes came across that ebay listing. I pulled the mfg from the pictures, but it looks like it was just a MSC brand. I was hoping they made it in CAT50. As like you said they are the same taper.

I think this the plan. Waiting to see if the customer will accept this as a solution.
