    I like your floating reamer holder!, may try to make one for myself......
    I also like your indicator holder that fits in the spindle with a dovetail assembly at 90 degrees, I have looked on ebay etc but havent found one like yours, very good idea Don

    Red layer in the middle of the holder? Sorry don't understand what do you mean by that.
    EDIT: I see now, interesting build.
