I put a Sherline headstock on my (non-homemade but surplus) gantry
table. The mounting was really simple--a 1"-thick aluminum plate with
a .500" diameter hole, counterbored from the back .625" diameter to
within .150-.160" of the front surface. Then you just use Sherline's
mounting pin. You need to mount up a dial indicator and "sweep" the
table to get the spindle vertical, but that was pretty quick.

Congrats, Bill! That's a nice looking piece of equipment. It's a
good feeling even getting a cobbled-together machine running, so I can
imagine what you feel like with a fully homegrown mill!

Best regards,
