Wanted to add a Digital Read Out to my drill press on the cheap, so bought the cheapest Digital Vernier I could find  off Amazon, designed this clamp to fit around the Quill and fit the end of the vernier into (after a bit of surgery to remove the unneeded jaws and excess length).

The Vernier I used is this one.

It's all plastic, so very easy to chop down with a hacksaw.

The Quill Diameter is 40mm. - To mount the clamp all you will need a M4x10mm bolt and nut. 

The body of the Vernier it attached to the front of the Drill press using the Masking tape and Superglue method currently. I may look to attach it more permanently later.
