Clark, what exactly do you want to know? I have one of those and use it
a fair amount. I have never found it confusing. Try mounting a standard
mag base vertical piece in the mighty mag's v block, then grab your dial
indicator in the normal way, point it any which way you like.

I am trying to measure the crossfeed position on a lathe, with the
indicator on top of the magnet and pointed in line with the magnet.

Because I cannot drill and tap the magnet, I am going to have to weld a
stud to a bracket and epoxy the bracket to the top of the magnet.
