Difference between CAT 40 & BT40

As the size of CAT40 and BT40 tool holder is totally different. But CAT40 and BT40 tool changer fingers are also very similar in appearance. Functionally there is absolutely no advantage or disadvantage. They are equal good. The style and thickness of the flange are different. BT40 tool holder flange part is thicker than cat40 tool holders.

BT40 tool holder has a slightly shorter taper by about 4mm. This effectively reduces the contact area in the spindle and means BT uses longer studs. So need two different studs for CAT40 and BT40 tool holders. The difference between CAT and BT is the flange style, thickness, and the thread for the pull stud is a different size. BT Tool Holders use Metric thread pull studs. Though both standards use the same NMTB body taper. BT tool holders are symmetrical around the main spinning axis, while CAT tool holders are not. BT tool holders along with CAT standards are among the most used in CNC machinery. They will accept both imperial and metric-sized tools; however, CAT40 tools come in metric sizes. They are durable and are the best choice for high-speed machinery.
