NMTB30 holders ARE the Erickson style holders. If they don't say NMTB, they

Darrell,
You are right. Problem is, a lot of suppliers will throw Erickson QC
qualified parts and non qualified tool holders in the same bin. They look the
same but as you know the qualified holders have an additional surface on the
flange held to close tolerance.

40's are easy to find. I have not seen any 30's in a while. Is it because
they are popular or because they are not used much? Hard to tell in this
backward area of the world.
