Just blew $400 on a 'universal' tool holder that wrecked my finish

The sales rep swore it would fit my older Haas mill, but the runout was terrible from day one. Had to scrap a batch of 50 aluminum brackets before I caught it. Anyone know a solid brand for BT30 holders that won't lie to you?

Was that the one with the weird double-angle collet design? I remember a machinist at my old shop saying those can be a nightmare to get seated right, even if they claim to be universal. He swore by MariTool for BT30 stuff, said their runout specs were always dead on.

Universal? More like universally awful. Scrapping a whole batch is brutal.

Guess the only thing universal here is the regret.
