I checked online, and my local Menard's has shaft collars in stock. As for the screw/bolt, wouldn't a self-tapping screw work? I'll shop around see what I can find and report back...
The reason there is a higher price, is because he is using SS.....which is WAY more expensive than the carbon collar. I still think it's a tad expensive for that....but total cost to build is probably around $10....give or take.
Getting the collars are no problem.I order from mc often.It's the screw I have no way of grinding one down.Has anyone found one that works with out moding it?
Do they make a harden self taping screw? As you can tell I know nothing.

I got the collar portion weeks ago- but I (also) cannot find a screw / bolt that has a point AND fits the threads.
I tried modding a few screws, but I found it to be impossible to get a good point.
If someone has the answer. I'd love to know!

Markfm has a mod like this an he gets his screws from either an auto shop ( for mounting mirrors), or hardware store for, again, mounting mirrrors. 1/4x20 sized, for the coupler he uses.

making a punch is the easiest thing anyone can do...
cut a 1" strip from a 2x4
-O.M.G. MEASURING!
drill a 3/8" hole into the block of wood just deep enough for the body of the carto.
now drill a hole(dia. of a nail) perpendicular to the 3/8" hole you previously made.
-placement of nail hole could be set in a way for predetermined location on carto.
-O.M.G. MORE MEASURING!
take nail with a large flat head (roofing nails work well) and cut it at a sharp angle to a depth that you determine.
-make multiples for easy replacement.
-O.M.G. EVEN MORE MEASURING!
slip carto into larger 3/8" hole
put nail in smaller hole that is perpendicular to carto. DUH!
whack nail with hammer.
enjoy!
an easy to use carto punch that can be made in minutes, that you wont care if you loose or break .
i really dont get why people need to reinvent something that has been around forever.
i just take a hammer and whack a sharp CLEAN nail through it.... the block is just there to hold the nail and to keep it from going too deep.
Sarcasm is just for the LOLz, no hate intended.... just sharing a different method.
