I'll probably use a CR2 instead of the button cell used in the test, any 3V battery will do. If you have some scraps lying around you can make one of these for under a fiver including the battery! Mine is fully adjustable for angle so should suit lots of work pieces.

Must admit and this is personal preference , I do like Dan's original ideas as regards mounting in that existing tooling can stay mounted but I do like your idea of adjustment. Got some whacking Delrin blocks kicking about somewhere. Thank you.

Dans original design is indeed very good but I wanted to be able to use mine in a variety of situations so went with a spindle mount instead.
