You could also make one with the magnet from a junked speaker; if you go that route, make sure you fill gap where the voice coil used to ride with something non-magnetic (epoxy or auto body filler) before using it anywhere there's magnetic swarf.

I'm in the process of making one right now.? It'll hold an indicator or a stop for the carraige.? It clamps to the bed vee.? Not difficult to make if you have the mini-mill.? Just takes a few iterations to get the fit perfect.
