If you can't find a definitive answer, get a bit 10mm thick bar (width doesn't matter), clamp it in the turret like a tool, and see if what would be the cutting surface lines up with the chuck centreline. If it lines up, you need 10mm tools, if it doesn't, measure by how much it's away from the centreline.
Personally, if it was designed to take 9mm tools, I'd remove the turret and machine each slot a mm lower, so I could use 10mm tooling.
You'll struggle to get any 9mm tooling, whereas 10mm tooling is very common for hobby size lathes.Avoiding the rubbish customer service from AluminiumWarehouse since July '13.
