We bought new dmg clx 450 machine with live tools. Tool holder is vdi40 but dont know type. B1, B2, C1...etc. when watching from spindle, spindle turns ccw and tool inserts watch toward operator. Does anyone what types of holders i need for OD and ID?
 
I had to look at the catalogs and visualize the actions, then take a chance (It's not that tough). Make certain you can return the unused holder if you are wrong, but ask the salesman on the phone, that's what he's getting paid for.
 
Here are a few pointers.

I have a broken airline so cannot get past reference machine on the screen and index the turret for a better picture. Have to take off the panels on the left-hand side to change the burst airline.

This link tool holder types, relating to work in chuck.
