Default Using the wrong size milling cutters

I have a horizontal mill with a 1" OD arbor. I've seen quite a few
cutters on ebay that have a 1-1/4" hole. These items usually sell for
very little.

Is there some sort of product I can buy that will allow me to use these
1-1/4" ID cutters on my 1" arbor?


It's possible to make a special spacer for the arbor that has a step
turned down for the 1 1/4" hole cutters. Then a extra tall key and
your in business. We has one like that at my former employers.
