I bought some Shars endmill holders recently and no one will be surprised I was not impressed with them. They are useable but I'd like better. Both the 3/8 and 1/2 have around 0.0015 or tir on an endmill or dowel pin.
I just got a reasonable deal on a 1/2" Lyndex Nikken endmill holder that states an AT3 or better taper with 0.0002" tir. ($51.44 shipped)
How are the modern Lyndex EM holders? How about Sowa brand (Taiwan)?
Tne Ridiculous Machine Tools brand promises extreme accuracy from China but I am getting allergic to wasting money on mediocre.
My goal is to pre-stage several endmills I use a lot. Kind of like the cnc guys do.
