    Difference between CAT50 AND BT50 HOLDERS???

    I am wondering if anyone can tell me the difference between cat and bt holders? I know the BT has metric threads for the retention knobs but are the knobs the sam shape on the outside? Will a Cat holder fit into my BT machine? I would imagine the tapers are the same ..... in my mind a 50 taper is a 50 taper... I could be wrong! Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
