Hi all
I acquired a number of cat45 toolholders, with the intention of modifying to fit a Weldon quick change holder. The modification would involve milling 2 angled slots in the taper to receive the Weldon set screws. The drive dog on the holder is also too wide for the cat45 holder's slots, so I have A choice of whether to narrow the drive dogs on the master holder or widen the drive slots on every cat45 holder.
I would prefer to narrow the single master holder's dogs rather than have to modify many holders. Would that be a reasonable thing to do? Or would it potentially lead to any problems? Seems like there needs to be a little slop in the fit anyway, and increasing it by 0.100" shouldn't make much of a difference.
Thanks in advance for any advice offered,
Lee
