Looking at it I wonder if the slot was milled in the threaded part
of the bolt could one not use a nut or two to adjust the height of
the tool?

Check the back issues of the "Home Shop Machinist" or
"Machinist's Workshop" for exactly this project. IIRC this was
called a Swiss type holder.

You might want to take a look at the KRF "omnipost" plans/kits.
You can make these with only a lathe [with milling attachment]
and a hacksaw.

I got the hacksaw...But thanks for the detailed information here and in your
next two posts. I shall keep them for future reference. They will be very
useful.
