Can't find 25mm cat 40 tool holder

[aadrew10]

Hello,

I am using a haas VF2 and I have a large number of 25mm tools. I bought a BT40 25mm tool holder, which works in the spindle but is not compatible with the tool changer.

Does anyone know where to purchase a cat 40 tool holder for a 25mm tool?

Thanks,
- Andrew

try www.ushoptools.com, also you may want to try collets, they work pretty well now adays.

Thanks for the reply.

That link seems to be expired.

We tried running the roughing endmill with a collet, and it kept pulling out of the collet under heavy loads. We are putting a 25mm rougher 1.5 inches deep through steel full width. Part of the problem is the roughers have weldon cuts in them which hurts the collet's grip.
