It is a higher end system no doubt, but for your machine, it will be way way overkill.

I doubt it is offered as a spindle choice other than the CT40, and buying CT40 to Capto adapters is just extra money. The BIG CAPTO modular tooling system offers better efficiency, material selection, and heat treatment. The short Coromant Capto®adapters are designed for driven precision toolholders providing significant advantages. Tool holder for super stones, super grinders, and polishing stones to be used. Capto is good for rigidity and good setup times,but you may lose some clearance. Adaptors for Weldon shanks, square shanks, taps. Bolt on will give you max rigidity, but with the cost of longer setup times. Walter Capto clamping units that allow this system to be used on all machines. Walter Turn 45 toolholder developed specifically for turning and milling centres. That said, for a HAAS Toolroom mill, tell the tooling guy to quit blowing smoke up your hole. The BIG CAPTO tool holder system is a dual contact modular turning and rotating system that strengthens the performance of machine tools. Universal Tool Holder for DiProfilers, 3mm Shank. The Walter Capto tool range: Walter Capto turning toolholder with rigid, lever-type, wedge-type and screw-type clamping. Sandvik developed Capto, but Seco also recently liscensed it for their own system. 'The insert goes in perfectly square with the turret,' explains Mr Rhodes. The Coromant Capto system, in particular, has a tapered polygonal-shaped coupling that ensures rigidity. Mill or turn, it's ridgid, very adaptable, and very accurate, with both face & taper contact and the 3 lobes which lock themselves from rotating. Using this tooling, Dresser Rand reports, an operator can change over from job to job within 30 sec, compared with the 20-min changeover that stick tooling requires. For turning and milling, it can't be beat as a quick-change option. Mill-turn machines like the Mazaak Integrexes and Mori NT's are commonly seen with this connection, but it is becoming more available as a standard mill spindle option- it's similar to an HSK, but only a step up the ladder.
#CAPTO STICK HOLDER ISO#
Capto is a GREAT system, and yes it is becoming an ISO standard.
