Interesting. I wish that the Type B had been more common around here. Converting them is going to be a PITA. What I meant was that I don't trust the tanged type. I have full sets of 2MT, 3MT, 3AT and 5C collets but if I had a full set of the drawbar and set screw type milling cutter holders, I would probably use them most of the time. As I don't, I usually use the Atlas set with reducing bushings if I have the end mills with shank diameters to fit. If I don't, I generally use the 3MT collets. I'm talking about in the Atlas 3996, of course. I don't have the MFA up and running yet. But when I do, the only difference will be 2MT instead of 3MT.
Gotcha. Well, Grizzly has them here. They're probably the same ones I have. Asian made, most likely, but they work fine for me. It's nice not having to worry about loosening collets to change end mills (same shank size, of course) and I've never had an end mill pull out like I had with a collet.
