This is a tool post indicator mount designed to firmly hold a test indicator. Prior to this I was using a NOGA magnetic mount and it was real fussy to get setup. With this setup it is much more stable and can be left attached to the tool post if desired..
The holder was built from existing junk-box parts that were on hand. The only machining required depends on what you have and your setup. Mine was as follows:
1) drill and tap the bottom of the vertical rod (14mm) for a 3/8-16 thread and insert a piece of threaded rod for mounting to the MultFix QCTP.
2) Machine the indicator rod to fit the indicator holder (5/16 – 1/4).
3) Shorten a 3/8-16 socket head cap screw to plug the hole in the MultiFix QCTP if the vertical rod is removed.
