I couldn't remember the name. I'd have to go through my recent invoices to find it.
There is also a place in California that I have used for rare fasteners. I'll see if I can find that too.
If all else fails, you can make them.

As far as I know it's all er collets, most of the time, my materials pass right through the collet, when they don't I just stuff the rear....
My lathe doesn't turn metric threads.
Jezz, maybe I should slow down and evaluate this problem a bit then......
Ouch........
Is it possible to make a few gears to provide metric threading capability?
I didn't say practical, I just want to start with possible and go from there.
I'm planning to turn a metric part tomorrow afternoon. I'll have a closer look at my lathe to see what that might take.
Ya, this has crossed my mind. 5/16 for the tool screws and 3/8 fine for the adjustment screw.
Set screws are easy to source on Ebay & Ali in dog or cup point. Just not a super quick ship item. Sometimes (not always) those set assortments can be good value depending on the size range vs needs. I've bought sets of progressive precision dowel pins & roll pins & screws & O-rings... sometimes for the same price as the fricken compartment box of air at the local store.
I'm actually not sure what the advantage of dog point is myself, maybe someone can illuminate. Was it somehow related to HSS blanks? I'm not concerned about marring my toolholder, not that I see much evidence of that anyways except on the cheapos.

Then of course you need to make that thin height adjuster nut... with the fine knurl.... and the fine pitch hex nuts....and don't forget the wave washer.... LOL
The M10-1.0 is the hard one to find.

I gave up on the wavey washer, but really should try and source some. Kinda sucks putting pliers on the knurls to loosen for hight changes.
What does the wavey washer accomplish?

It keeps the two nuts from sticking together, whether that is the real purpose or not, but that's about all I have noticed different between mine and China's toolholders....
