Identify both ends of the holder
Record the spindle taper and retention details, then the cutting-tool connection. FuRui’s R8 ER holders list M12 or 7/16-20 UNF drawbar threads. For an NT machine, compare the NT30, NT40 and NT50 ER holder families and confirm the drawbar connection separately. For BT tooling, check the machine’s required pull-stud type as well as the thread. Haas’s tooling reference illustrates why taper and pull-stud checks are separate.
