Ed, my Lux-Matter lathe came with a threaded "bushing" for the outboard (left end of the spindle). The spindle was threaded internally for that purpose.
The "bushing had a couple of inserts and I assume the previous owner had sized the inserts for the sizes of the material they worked.
Of course an adjustable one like you're making would be more suited to our varying non-production needs.
