    Do what I did and buy a 36" length of 1/2" BSW threaded rod and 4 matching nuts. Cut rod in half, screw into tool (through quill), place 1/2 washer, screw on 1 nut till tool retained, then a second nut and lock together. Remove bar and nuts together as one assembly, weld up the nuts, repeat and hey presto two draw bars! (one for mill, one for lathe as they share the same MT3 taper and tooling).
