I may still have one #35 taper tool holder. May be NMTB style. I used to have
two, managed to sell one. Like certain other oddballs that were rarely used,
such as 4C, you'll pay a premium for tooling and variety will be poor. If you
need larger than #30, go with #40. If you just can't pass up a machine with a
#35 taper, do some checking to see if there's a way to modify it to #40.
Of course with a CNC lathe or machining center you can make any #35 tooling you
need. Can even do it on the mill by mounting cutters to the table to use the
mill as a vertical lathe. There's a video on Youtube of someone doing that to
make 3/4" straight shank TTS toolholders.
