By chucking the bare block in a 4-jaw and turning the post on a lathe before starting the milling operation, you could really shorted the whole thing. This matters as it would reduce how far you have to crank the cross slide back when you need to use the holder.

Ken,

That's certainly an option. I think I'm going to need some vertical adjustment though to get the DTI needle up far enough to be on center. I could eliminate the horizontal arm and just put the vertical arm right into the block. That would shorten it up quite a bit also. Hmmm
