Scruffy, Seems like going from a 10 B & S to R-8 just isn't going to happen. I called Collis Tool just for giggles. They said 10 is mega obsolete taper. They haven't made one in decades. Don't even have the tooling for it. For what its worth.

My B&S 1 1/2 has a #10 and the stuff is out there. Ebay has a lot of end mill holders, shell mill holders and a few arbors but the cool stuff only pops up once in a while. I got a collet head with 11 collets ranging from 1 1/2" - 2 1/16". It's pretty cool. Apparently the B&S tapers were poplar about 100 years ago.

I think travers sells new #10 collet holders but they're not cheap.

I've never seen an adapter for anything but #10 to another B&S or a MT.
