Are these forks compatible with all BT40 tool holders?

Yes, they are designed to the standard BT40 (7:24 taper) specification, making them compatible with any tool holder following that interface.

Can this fork handle tools heavier than 5kg?

Absolutely. This reinforced model is rated for a load capacity of up to 8kg, making it suitable for larger milling cutters and heavy tool assemblies common in BT40 machines.

What is the benefit of using plastic forks over metal?

High-impact plastic forks are non-marring, meaning they won't scratch or damage the precision-ground surfaces of your expensive BT40 tool holders, while still providing the necessary rigidity for alignment.
