Here are some TTS style adapter collars I made this morning. They are modified 6435K16 collars from McMaster and appear to work really well. Cost around $2.00 each and a few minutes time with the lathe.

Nice Robert !!
Thanks for the part # Looks like a pretty handy thing to have on hand . I will include a few the next time I order from them.

Appreciate the comment Scott... Hope it is helpful in some way.

That's great, thanks for sharing. I assume you cannot use them at high rpm right?
The Tormach std spindle is not really what I would call high speed. I don't see much difference between these and the TTS end mill holders as neither are balanced.
You are correct, I would not use them or the TTS EM holders in say a 10k+ spindle with out being balanced. One needs to use common sense in these matters.
Robert
Actually, I have used some TTS endmill holders at 10000rpm with my 770 with no issue. I doubt that these collars would break at 10000rpm but it would vibrate badly enough to make it worthless at these speed. Still very useful for bigger and slower tool.
