Watching a recent Clickspring youtube video got me all inspired. Is there an elegant way to attach a DTI to the cross slide? You can attach a piece of steel and use a magnetic base but that leaves you way high over the spindle axis and a bunch of monkey bars to reach down. Must be a better way.
 
Here is a photo showing a dial indicator mounted in the Sherline insert holder tool post (#7600) for horizontal measurementl, and dial-test indicator mounted in Sherline riser rocker tool post (#1288) for vertical measurement. The dial indicator has a stem extension.DSCF5724 tailstock alignment.jpg
