Not sure but I think they are one and the same

http://www.bbssystem.com/manuals/Bridgeport_QckChng-tooling.pdf


found here with a stack of manuals

http://www.bbssystem.com/viewtopic.php?t=62


Think Bridgeport just called it quick change when the tooling was held in a r8 - 30 nmtb adaptor,.

but as far as i can make out it's the same


Be careful though there are lots of guys selling stuff ...who jump to the conclusion just because it has a 30 taper its ...so and so

best have a known one in your hand looking at it ...and then looking at the picture of the item described by the seller...........sometimes the collars are a tincy bit thinner ..........careful scrutiny ...and you learn how to recognise this ...if the picture is right ...
or you email them and ask for a measurement of the collar.


Don't buy any of the ones with a double collar.


Sometimes the tooling is describes as
30-int
int-30
30-international
BE-30
Erickson quick change and Erikson
QC-30
DA-collet holder/chuck...etc etc


and on and on

if you search my posts i gave a full list of all permutations of descriptions


Or Have a look at the manuals above and decide your self.

all the best..mark

NMTB 30 and Erikson QC 30 are not quite the same. The taper is the same and the NMTB 30 can be used in a QC 30 head if you remove the retaining nut and use a draw bar.
The NMTB 30 has a slightly larger diameter collar that is also thinner than a QC 30.
FYI-all the stuff that 800 Watt sells will not fit a QC 30 head.

Thanks,
Do you know of any tool catalogs that sell Erickson QC tooling?
I found some in a KBC catalog, but it was from '98.

AFAIK, Collis http://www.collistool.com/home.htm and Kennametal are the only ones selling the QC30 stuff anymore. What a lot of guys do that have machines that take QC tooling do is buy a ER collet holder or 2.
