It appears the quill is fully into it and bottoming out on the inside base. When I try to engage the R8 bolt (longer one that came with the unit) I believe I am only...

    Insert Identification for a Valenite Tool Holder

    I picked up a Valenite LTGR-86 tool holder but am having trouble finding the correct insert. It appears Valenite has changed their numbering system and nothing with that number came up on their site. Assuming I was in the correct place. Any leads would be appreciated, thanks.:confused:
