Another iteration of the dial indicator holder.
I was tempted to use the existing, but decided on the following improvements

Has a simple bore for the stem. Stems are designed to be placed in hardened steel bores or collets as to not pinch the spindle, as a set screw would do.


Adds rear bracket for lug back dial indicator, slotted to allow for limited height adjustment.


Uses 3 magnets to keep the holder as level as possible. Magnets captured from above, so they can't pull out onto the linear rail.
3a. Magnets press into tapered pockets for easy installation


No need to create a version to support your tolerance, design has allowance for rail to rail spacing variances.

Design has increased beam strength for minimal deflection.
Specifications.
a. Uses a dial indicator with a 0.375" diameter shank, Shars 303-3112 Lug Back, inches
b. Uses 3 magnets .250" dia x .125"
c. Uses 1/4-20 or M6 cap screw, washers and nut
