Very nice job Nick. Simple and effective. Why is it I never think of things like that?   :doh:

I won't even go into the Rube Goldberg contraption I threw together to use on my lathe the other day.   :bang:

Well that's another one for the "to do" list...

  Nicely done Nick,  :thumbup:

 Look,s like an add to the new projects list for me as I too tend to just use the 4 jaw as well.
 Thanks for the post. :clap:

 Jerry. :)

Many years ago I was looking at a Morse 1 Dixon QC holder and wondering why did they bother making it. Then I thought what if I mounted a DTI in it, best mod I ever made.
I cannot for the life of me see why any sane person would mount a DTI vertically  :loco:, when , if mounted horizontally, you can use the cross slide for coarse adjustment.
Once you get a bit of experience you can centre quicker than using a collet, well you can if you had to change the collet, that is.
