I purchased an iCarbide CAT40 tool holder. It has ⅝"-11" thread on top (female) so I needed a pull stud to fit my Riken mill. I bought a pull stud from F. Singer, which has the Deckel buttress thread on top. When the pull stud arrived, I went to fit the 2 parts together and while the ⅝"-11" male thread on the pull stud will go in cleanly, the machined shoulder above the thread does not enter - it seems to be an interference fit. I emailed F. Singer about this, but they are slow to respond and so far I haven't received an answer. Does anyone know how these 2 parts are supposed to fit together? Should I crank the pull stud in and force the interference fit together? Or should I have some machining done to make the fit a slip fit? Either solution makes sense to me, but I figured that someone here would know the actual answer. Hopefully Singer will reply definitively within the next 24 hours.
