Product description
BT40 MAS 403 Whistle Notch holder (DIN 1835 E), Ø6–40 mm
Whistle Notch milling holder with a BT40 (MAS 403 BT / JIS B 6339) taper. The tool is clamped by a shank flat inclined at 2° (Whistle Notch, DIN 1835 E) and a clamping screw. The tool shank must have a Whistle Notch flat.
Available bore diameters: 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 25, 32 and 40 mm. Length L = 50 mm (Ø6 and Ø8), 63 mm (Ø10–20), 90 mm (Ø25), 100 mm (Ø32) and 120 mm (Ø40). Select the variant when purchasing.
Applications
- clamping end mills and drills with a Whistle Notch shank (flat inclined at 2°, DIN 1835 E)
- milling and drilling with secure, rigid clamping by a clamping screw
- CNC milling machines and machining centres with a BT40 spindle (MAS 403 BT)

d – bore diameter (tool shank), D – body diameter, L – length from the flange face (spindle side) to the holder front face, M – clamping screw thread.
Read the complete designation of the selected variant. For example, BT40-SLB16-63 means a BT40 taper, a Whistle Notch (SLB) holder for a Ø16 mm shank and length L = 63 mm.
How to select
- Check that the spindle has a BT40 interface (MAS 403 BT), not SK40.
- Bore diameter d = tool shank diameter (e.g. an end mill with a Ø16 shank = variant SLB16).
- The shank must have a Whistle Notch flat inclined at 2° (DIN 1835 E). For Weldon shanks (DIN 1835 B) choose a Weldon holder.
FAQ
Will it fit my machine?
The holder has a BT40 taper to MAS 403 BT (JIS B 6339). Before purchasing, confirm that the standard, size and pull stud match the machine spindle requirements. BT40 and SK40 are different tapers, so the designation “40” alone is not sufficient to confirm the selection.
How does it differ from a Weldon holder?
The clamping flat of a Whistle Notch shank is inclined at 2° (DIN 1835 E), while a Weldon flat is parallel to the axis (DIN 1835 B). Choose the holder that matches the tool shank.
Which tools can be clamped?
Tools with a Whistle Notch shank (DIN 1835 E) whose diameter equals d of the selected variant, e.g. end mills or drills.
Select a pull stud
For a BT holder compare BT pull studs in the appropriate size.
Confirm the selection against the spindle requirements: head profile and angle, thread, length, bore and seal.
