The second system is the BTA, this is the same as the BT system but in addition has a eccentric graduated bush. The BTA system is usful when the machine tool is without a "Y Axis". In this case the eccentric bush can make the perfect alignment between the slotting tools and the work peice.. The eccentric bush is available in three different outside diameter - 32Ø 40Ø 50Ø If you send us a drawing of your work-peice we can recommend which slotting tool suits your application.
