    Articulated Lathe Indicator Mount

    I made this mount for a dial indicator on my lathe and it's the handiest one yet. I had an extra ways stop and I took the articulating arm from a magnetic indicator base and threaded the clamp to mount the arm to it. Now my indicator is rock solid and right there if I need it, adjusts the indicator to any position quickly via the arm, and can quickly move or even come off by loosening the ways stop clamp lever. This was too easy and I should have done this long ago.

    If you can't make it precise make it adjustable.
