I made mine from 4140 as is  , I reckon any quality tool steel will be fine ,made mine about two years back and its still doing fine . 

Mine is mounted on an old BT30 ,ISO30  so R8 may be OK , cant really say . 

I will see if I have the drawings I made knocking about ,,,,,here is a link to what I copied    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suburban-Fly-C...4ae4e7cc9b   


Cheers Rob


EDIT : They manufacture one for a R8 taper , so all good ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,check out video in link .

Hello there ROB
Yeah, yeah that is the original I have been eyeballing for some time. Yours is the best knockoff by far of any I have seen. We have some EN8 we want to use for the ball and some un-beknown tool steel for the Insert Holder. Yup, seen they also have an R8 Shell Mill Holder, and the easy method the Keyway is slotted makes it all now possible.
Much appreciate the timely response.
Take care.
