Weldon Shank Tooling

[Joe AutoDrill]

I'm quoting a product to a potential customer and he mentioned "Weldon Shank" tooling.

Now... I'm familiar with a 10mm OD round shank tool that has a flat for two set screws... But I've never called it a Weldon as Weldon to me indicates a much larger, non-metric sized shank for metalworking tools.

Is term common and do the woodworking tools (mostly drills I presume) come from multiple suppliers with this shank?

Thank you for any help you can offer.

I can shoot a photo of my 10mm tool holder if anyone wants to see it and get a better idea what it is I'm working with...

I went there before posting here. That page does not show the 10mm variety at all.

I guess I should have clarified by asking whether the 10mm is as common as the others, is also called Weldon, etc.
