in a Haas VF-1?

There's a tool that I'm thinking about buying online, but it's BT40.
What would I need to do to get it to work?


thanks in advance.


I don't think you can as the VF-1 has a 40 CAT head according to a google
search.



Ya, it has a Cat 40 - I was wondering if it was possible to use a BT 40
in a CAT 40 head. Apparently they are very similar.


check this out http://www.techniksusa.com/metal/emhcat40.htm

it gives sizes for all

I think its the tool catcher groove that is different
