drawbar help

[RobertHaas]

My mill uses a 24" long drawbar threaded 5/8" x 11

I have taken delivery of a bunch of import ISO 40 and NT 40 tooling and it seems they are all metric 16 x 2.0 so I need a metric draw bar.


Before I widdle one out on my Lathe, is there a source for such a critter???

Nope! Start whittling one out. You'll have to make it about 1" to 1-1/2" longer than your standard draw bar to compensate of the shorter length holders.
