I have 10mm 12mm 3/8"whit and 1/2"whit drawbars as the tooling has different threads.

You need 3 facemills flat 45 degree and round plus the collets for workholding...done...unless you fancy a flycutter....although getting the flies to stay still is an acquired art :D
OK... some tuition required... why 3 facemills? I was going to get a 63mm indexable one...

I was also assuming that since I am buying the tooling new I could get it all one thread...

I've rarely used a mill before in anger except at school many moons ago... in my professional career I've nearly always had stuff machined for me although i'd often watch it being done... I know how to use a lathe although until this year it was 28y since I did!

Personally I find catching and timing flies the hard bit... ;)
