I'm in the process of adapting a 40 NMTB PDQ tool holder to my Autometric and am deciding on whether or not to add the slots for the driving lugs to the toolholders or to make a lug that doesn't need the slots. The lugs are missing, so it's about the same effort either way. Since I'm adapting a quick change to the spindle it's not like I'll be modifying a lot of NMTB tools.
I have a scan from the brochure, but the resolution isn't quite high enough for all the dims. I see .505 width, 1/32 radius in the corners but I just can't make out the depth.
BTW: if anyone has some 40 NST tooling for sale cheap it might tilt my decision to slotting the NMTB 40 toolholders I have so that standard driving lugs could be used. I think they'd be better for driving anyway as I'll be taking a fair amount of meat for the taper on the modified taper.
