Help with Milling Machine

I have just acquired a new ZAY7032G Milling machine from an auction of a small machine shop. It is brand new but is missing the "parts & accessories" pack.
I need the long bolt (name?) that goes through the spindle to hold tools in place.
I can find the mills all over the Internet but no parts.
Any help?
I'd like to use this to learn on before I spend money on a Real Mill.
 
It's called a draw bar and you can make your own if you have a lathe. If you don't have a lathe you can still make one from threaded rod. If your mill uses R8 collets the threads should be 7/16-20.

Thanks. I'm learning as I go. Collets are R8.
Found a 3ft piece of 7/16x20 at local hardware store this evening.
