    Assume you mean NMTB, not NT. I have no clue what an NT is. From a web search:

    Machine Tool Shanks (Tapers)

    I posted this in the chat section.... ANN WAY MACHINE TOOLS CO., LTD.

    Took me all of 5 minutes to find it. My issue is why, just WHY can't people take a few minutes to DO SOME HOMEWORK??????

    Admittedly, I didn't know what the specific differences were, but I knew they weren't interchangeable. Curiosity sent me looking.... and what pisses me off is how easy it is, once again, to find the answer using the tools at hand. And that's what elicits the stupid question comment.

    He messaged me privately. I could not find a spec sheet on the NT until you posted yours. Maybe he had the same problem. Anyway, yes, the BT and NT tapers are different. ANN WAY MACHINE TOOLS CO., LTD.

    This is what I see: "Ooh I'm so good at finding information, I can't believe he is too stupid to do the same."

    I bet that someone out there finds it very easy to do something that you find very hard to do.
