Nice work and a great way to radius a small number pieces.
My only question is, why cotter pins instead of a set screw? Seems like those pins are liable to collect schmutz and get caught on stuff.
Otherwise, damned nice machining.
Roll pins would look much better than split pins.

-Why squaring the bottom of the hole for seating a spherical end ?
IMHO he'd been less bad off with the drill angle in the first place,
better still with a ball end milled seat.
I would have welded the nuts on the underside so I retained the square shoulder to adjust down to.. I also would have considered thinning or even halving the nuts so I didn't lose as much height.
That said, it's still nicer than some of the "feet" hiding under some of my tools/ stands/ etc
Well, think of it from their side; that is why they are hiding.Quote:

Hard to justify a flat bottom hole, I wouldn't even require hemispherical. Drill point is ideal; balances increased load off the centerline, and 3-4° plenty of angular displacement. For all that work, I'd increase diameter perhaps to that available commercially. The bottom would be relieved, only some commercial pads feature that. My common go-to removes the inner ~2/3rds of diameter.
