How to choose end mill holders type?

The main consideration of processing needs: roughing/heavy cutting: choose the end milling cutter holder with larger taper (such as BT series), high-speed finishing: preferred HSK shank.

Tool type adapted to BT/CAT/HSK shank

These handles can be adapted with inserts such as end milling cutters and carbide drills. For example, the Lizhou MS-2E series can be adapted to these tool holders.
