Tool post dial indicator mount

Excellent work.

I've been using that type of indicator for a few years and will never be without one again. You'll love it.
 
I made sure that the indicator point is on the lathe centerline. Put a rod in 4-jaw, adjusted true. Used a height gage to determine lathe C.L. height from cross slide top, then used that number to adjust the height of the indicator plunger. (CL Height + 1/2 thickness of indicator plunger)
