Well here is what I came up with.

It holds the 2 3/4”saw good and tight, and while still on the lathe I checked runout. Zero!
I did not add a key as I didn’t have the right size stock. If it becomes an issue, I’ll add it later.

Thanks to all who had input, I appreciate your help. I did not make any drawings, just worked from what I had in the possibles box. The shank is drill rod, the body a piece from Dad’s collection that already had the ½” hole. The cap is a slice off of a 1 1/8” mystery metal bar, again inherited from Dad.

I will test it today on my mill, cutting some ¼” ali plate.
