Just bought a Bridgeport BTC-1. Thought all Bridgeports used only
NMBT 35 or R8 tool holders. Found out this one uses #35 NMT? Does
anyone have any of this type for sale? How about a drawing which
shows dimensions?

Never heard of that taper/holder before but that means nothing. Right now,
I'd be wondering if it would be more cost effective to change out the
spindle for something common.

I expect I'm going to learn something about the more arcane aspects of
brideports from the replies but bring it on.
