You don't know what type of holder your own machine takes?
Well to be fair... we have guys setting up and running machines that can't read Gcode (not like read as in follow along mentally for shapes), like not read / not understand the difference between a G81 and G82, or what G41 is...
I once interviewed a guy for a couple openings where we would have accepted anyone from an operator to a top class CNC Lathe set-up guy. The guy claimed to have set-up skills including the ability to edit programs. I tested applicants pretty thoroughly back in the day so I handed him a part, a print, and a program copy and asked him to highlight with a provided yellow marker the coding that made the features I asked about. He looked totally confused and said the programs he worked with didn't have X,Y,Z on them. Giving him the benefit of the doubt I asked if the programmer where he worked used a lot of incremental value codes. He looked at me with more confusion. Being the non PC person I was decades ago I told him to get his lying ass out of my office as I threw his resume in the trash.
As for the OP, a picture is not worth a thousand words here. You need to list the dimensions.
I interview guys like that all the time. Running machines for 20 years and don't know any G or M codes. I've even told some of them that you've been doing this for 20 years and didn't even learn them by accident? Sorry don't need you.
These are funny stories indeed, but hopefully you cut some slack where needed... I think I would do respectable on a Fanuc Gcode 'test', but I am sure I wouldn't ace it as I have been a "cam guy" for years now...

This is not my machine. I run Mikrons. This particular machine is in the electrode making department. I was asked to try and find what was out there for holders.
