Loctite, thread locker. I almost didn't get the two cast iron parts out of the aluminum holder after I turned the outside and cut the center out of it so they would fit against the side of the magnet. I don't know that they have to be cast iron I just figured that with having to cut the center out and most of it being an interrupted cut that cast iron would be the lesser of several evils.

I have another base that I plan on doing hopefully I will do a better job of documenting it. I would like to make from scratch also plus a some arms for it.
It really chaps me when I go to stick an indicator on something an the base won't hold. Now that I know what to do and how to put them iron slugs back into the holder shouldn't take more then a couple hours to redo the other cheap chinese base that I have.

Thanks all for the compliments.
