It is really too bad that everyone has their own idea of a "good" tool adapter. I went thru this with Cincinatti.
On the countourmaster they use a truncated 3.5" taper with a front collar to hold it on. ONLY wanted $275 ea. for them. What you
need is a friend with some W1, a lathe, a way to heat-treat, and a good cyl grinder. :-)
Good luck.
