Default BT versus CAT taper

aaarrrggghhh!!!

ok, now that I've said it - I have this Abene mill - it has a #40
taper, so I bought a pile of #40 tool holders. Some (about 2 out of
5) work properly, the remainder have the wrong draw bar thread. So,
I'm imagining that I have two different types of holders - it seems by
looking around that BT and CAT are the same except for drawbar thread
(metric for BT, inch for CAT) -- is this correct?

If yes, anyone wanna trade?
