If you'd like to make your own, consider the Taig PN1132 1" blank arbor as a starting point. I've made a number of custom toolholders for my Sherline Mill using this part. http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=1&p=50249&cat=1,330,50260 <http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=1&p=50249&cat=1,330,50260> It's item P in the catalog picture. They're only a few dollars each. The only issue with these is that for full thread engagement on the Sherline spindle, you have to cut about .2" off the end of the blank, as this is where the threads start.
