That's a beautiful tool!
I have only one minor change I might suggest, and that is some way of getting the body of the indicator to swivel and change it's angle relative to the work and it's tip.
The issue for me is that my Interapid 312-B4 instructions are explicit in that the accuracy is best when the tip is 10º to the centerline of the body of the indicator, so you need to be able to swivel the body to get the tip touching the work in the right place. I suppose if I used this Mitutoyo ball swivel to hold the indicator and clamp in the adjuster that would work, though start to be pretty far out there.
