This is the holder and a couple of tool adaptors.
I need one that will hold a 3/4 shank end mill. I need at least three.

If all three tools have 3/4" shanks, then a cheaper and quicker alternative
might be to to order three $18 3/4" end mill holders from Chris Wood at
www.littlemachineshop.com in Pasadena. He's a great guy to deal with. If
length is a problem, then sets of six R8 collets, which include a 3/4"
collet are only $23, and he may give you a deal on just three 3/4" collets.

The collets are a pain to open or change with an R8 taper mill Mark.
That is why the quick change tool holders are so popular.
No doubt about it being cheaper.  If I can not find the adapters I am looking for
I am looking for a machine shop that can make some for me.

Paul,

If you do not have any luck finding those quick change tools, let me know. I will
do my homework and see if I can come up with some. They possibly may have to be
machined but I dont think that would be a problem.

Cancel that Doug and Butch. Thanks for your efforts. When it rains it pours. 
Went over to my friends shop also named Doug who owns Marfab and said; "have you
ever seen anything like this" He said "sure I have a whole bunch.  Make
me an offer". OK I said: "$100 bucks". Sold! When it rains it pours.

BTW Doug is owner of the deep submersible Delta submarine and collects
NC machine tools as a hobby. He owns at least three dozen. Most are in
good working order.
