Dial indicator for lathe quick change tool post - no dovetails!!

[the.hogman]

Instead of taking the proper route to cut dovetails in a QCTP toolholder, I simply welded two short bars onto a strap metal to fit in the dovetails. I then used this to mount a dial indicator. When centering a workpiece in a four jaw chuck, this is the only way to get it perfectly centered quickly. I can center a piece in under minute!
