So I have a CNC mill and a lathe that I just converted to CNC. I have a Yuge investment in TTS tool holders for the mill. What I am looking for is an adapter for an AXA toolpost that holds a R8 collett so I can use my mill tools like drills, reamers, center drills... on the lathe without screwing with their offsets on the mill.

Here is what I am thinking of. This is just a boring bar holder with a 3/4" hole in it. What I would like is an R8 collett instead of that clamp bolt on the top.



Has anyone ever seen or heard of such an animal? Is there any reason why this would not be a good idea?
I don't have the tools yet to make one of these. Would anyone be interested in making one for me?
