I suspect you mean Coventry Easy Change magicniner?
I`m adding a sketch i made today With all Critical measurements.
.
.
Will also send it to Coventry Toolholders and have them confirm all measurements and explanation as to why the groove is missing in the top flange in their catalog.
Believe the flange is a special Boxford solution on their first ATC`s.. or something...
Would be interesting to know if there`s anybody that would buy any of my bearly used standard Easy Change toolholder like the on in the Picture though.
I`m more into collet chuck toolholders and the Shell Mill Holders.

Because it's not a Coventry Easy Change tool holder.
I've just been and compared one to a BT30, and the Easy Change holders have a steeper taper, which would be correct as the Easy Change holder doesn't use a self locking taper, whereas the BT taper usually is self locking and needs force to remove it.
Unfortunately the battery is flat in my angle calipers and I don't have a spare, so can't give an exact angle.Avoiding the rubbish customer service from AluminiumWarehouse since July '13.

I've measured one of my Coventry Easy Change at 20 degrees

Standard BT tapers are 7/24, which going by my calculation, works out at 16.26 degrees.

I've measured Coventry Easy Change and BT30 for comparison/reference with a Moore & Wright Angle Thingy, here's the photos -
I used BT30 because it's the "Taper Which It Definitely Isn't" which keeps getting rolled out here, it mystifies me and I was tempted to use a MT3 taper, but I'll go with the flow ;-)Last edited by magicniner; 20-12-2016 at 12:49 AM.

I compared it to the BT30 as well and the angle is different.
Besides the taper length on BT30 is 50,4mm(including the 2mm notch), whereas my mystery taper lengt is 32,75mm.
If it`s not Coventry i`m stuck, but i guess i will receive an answer from them by next week.
