Interesting link. *I don't know how the author came up with that
design, but you might want to look at the KRF Omnipost,http://www.krfcompany.com/

The old lantern / rocker / American style tool post is easy to make
out of a large bolt and much less fussy to use if you mill riser
blocks that locate tool bits or Armstrong-type holders at the correct
height. Don't grind any top rake on the tool bits so the cutting edge
stays at the same level. They won't cut as freely but they will be
less likely to dig in, which is valuable on a flexible home-made
machine.
