When I got my mill, it came with some endmill holders (B&S 9).  Missing were 3/4 and 1".  It also came with a 3/4 adapter for the 1-1/4 holder so that temporarily solved that problem.  I'm making a mount for my mobile antenna, the temporary one I used was just that, temporary.  This time around I planned on doing it right.  

One of the things I needed was a 2-1/8" milling cutter.  I eventually found one on ebay but I needed an arbor.  So I made one of them out of a piece of 1" stainless I had (got a bunch of cheap drops from Speedy last year).  Problem was, you guessed it, 1" arbor - I still don't have a 1" holder.  I was able to find a sleeve to go from 1" to 1-1/4" but that just didn't hold it right and after the first try cutting the rounded end opening for the antenna I was certain it wasn't going to work.

I had one bookmarked on ebay so I looked at it and it was Travers that was selling it.  Same price on their website so I went for the free shipping on ebay (plus I get ebay bucks - kinda like cash back).  

So the first pic is the new holder, still in the bag, the second pic is the holder, in the mill, with the aforementioned arbor and milling cutter.
