I found the same problem when I had the Herless SM1. It came with a whitworth drawbar - I don’t know why other than perhaps to coerce you to continue to buy tooling from the original retailer. At...

He bought it off Gumtree for $3,000 from a deceased estate a fortnight ago, I even have a screenshot of the ad. He’s just a wanker who continues to inflate the already over-priced Myford market. Seen...

I saw your other thread and I might have something suitable for you.
Herless SM1. Weighs about 500kg, maybe a little more or less.
It’s a lot more capable than a mill drill in my opinion.
