Hi all,
I made the mistake of buying a .375 MT3 milling tool holder with a tang. I use it in my lathe with a Atlas Milling Attachment, and it has jumped out of the taper on two occasions creating quite a mess. I am thinking about anealing the tang with a MAPP torch, cutting it off and drilling and tapping for a drawbar. Will this approach work without destroying the other properties of the taper and holder, or should I pitch it?
Many thanks,
Brian
