You might check out what
littlemachineshop.com has to offer. I see they have a
Mini-mill tooling package for 3MT setups as well as many other "packages" and offerings.
Disclaimer - I've had good experiences buying from them before but I'm not connected to them in any way.
Hope that helps,

I've used MT 3 collets in my Mill Drill for years and they've served me well. They need a good whack on the drawbar for removal, don't be shy. I've had to make a new one but I've no complaints. I have MT3 fly cutters, boring bars, slitting saw arbours and of course the ubiquitous drill chuck.

My first mill had an MT-2 spindle and I had no problems using it so you should be just fine using MT-3 tooling. Littlemachineshop.com is a good suggestion since they cater to the mini-lathes and mini-mills.

All my tooling is basically MT3 - guess I'm just old
