I did a search on here, there were several posts on ones that others have made. Richard told me that if I wanted to make one that it was not a trade mark infringement or patent or something like that as long as I am not selling them. I had to make 2 different sizes, the first one I made was about 1.25" in diameter, with a half inch groove, I made the one in the picture about half that size and it fit my lathe quite well. I also bought several different clamps, 2 more starret mag base posts that were threaded where they screw into the way alignment fixture. I have 3 or 4 different DTI's but only 1 is .0001 the rest are .0005. My next purchase is an alignment shaft for my lathe. I need a MT4.5 to fit the spindle so when I start scraping the head I can get the head alignment close so I am going to get it from Millers machine tools, they claim no run out and .0001 or less for straight and conconcriticy.
