    ER40 collet chuck

    Thread indicator for Clausing 100 Mk 3 lathe

    Maybe they were stripped out and thus the dial went AWOL? Or a threading dial was an option and the hole is the taping drill size for the SHCS? Since you are making a dial from scratch, you can choose the bolt size to fit the hole you have after you re-thread it or repair it with a helicoil.

    Tool N2M engravers ball vice

    How about checking at a hobby supply store for 3/16” square tubing? It is probably the OD dimension, but might be able to use the next size up to give you the correct ID dimensions… Like this: https://pmmodelengines.com/brass-tube-stock/?setCurrencyId=1&sku=TT-46-12
