Precision Components have Cat 50 blanks that might be exactly what you're looking for.

Big Daishiwa makes the best but again... $900 is ballpark.

You can save a little money on Capto from Technics.

Yeah tool holders for this machine aren't cheap. We use a lot of Big Kaiser for milling, and sandvik capto for turning. Just wanted to find a slightly more cost effective option , if possible... Another pain is it being big - plus. Luckily a lot more companies are making big plus connection now.

hmmm..turning tools on a Cat with no way to accurately index..

what am I missing?

What do you mean no accurate way to index ? It is a mill turn machine, the spindle can be clamped for turning work, no problem.. It is what the machine is built for . 😉

sound like a simple and robust solution. I know a certain macturn with BT40 holders uses an index pin for lathe holders. pretty rare and crazy, they are.

 I know a guy who bump the chuck and got the BT lathe holder spinning at the same speed,:whistle:
