@ArjanDijk 

I have to disagree a liitle, yes, there is not a need for the full cone but the relevant length is from the "Guage" line and not the top of the flange, for example a BT30 and BT40 toolholder will have an extra 2mm above the top of the flange to the "Guage" line and the distance from there to the end of the tool is the correct length that the machine control needs to have input if the tool is not being measured by the machine control so to me it would be handy to have that small bit added to the toolholder, more realistic :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face:

 

For example I used to have all my tools for the next job on a machine ready just to insert in the ATC and by using an external digital toolsetter to get all my tool lengths ready for the next job, job one ends, tools removed from ATC, next set of tools placed in ATC and tool lengths loaded, a few minutes at the machine and ready to go again :slightly_smiling_face:

Just an example, everyone should feel free to do it the way that is most comfortable for them :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face:
