Tooling questions

[Albindf]

Good day everyone, noob here seeking some guidance on tooling and possible alternatives. I have recently purchased a jet 1236 lathe from the 80's and a zay7045fg/1 mill with a MT4 taper spindle. I am trying to find an MT4 shell holder, fly cutter and boring head. The guidence/advice I'm seeking is there an alternative holder I can use in place of an MT4? I have been having a hard time finding anything MT4. Thank you for taking the time to help this uber noob. (Attached is my current shop layout, just for poop and giggles)

MT4 collets and straight shank tools are one option. An MT4 collet chuck might work as well..

Thank you for the response I have looked in to using and MT4 collet system. But I have not seen a collet set up for using facing mills, fly cutters or boring heads. I currently have 2 end mill holders, but I'm trying to tool up for future projects.

You could certainly use a MT4 to MT3 sleeve, and then buy MT3 tooling, which is a lot more common.
