Questions about BT boring bar blanks
Which pull stud does a BT boring bar blank take?
The pull stud of its taper size: M12 on BT30, M16 on BT40 and M24 on BT50. Use a MAS-BT pull stud with the head angle your drawbar takes (45°, 60° or 90°), or a JIS B6339 stud with a 15° head (BT40 and BT50).
What goes with a BT boring bar blank?
Your own machining: the blank's HRc 28–32 body is made into the boring bar or special tool you need.
