You are overthinking it.? Buy a tool post kit, either mill or buy a t-nut the proper size then mount the post.? Mission accomplished.
I chose to buy a t-nut on eBay since my shop time was limited then and it was under $20 including?shipping. Today, since I'm less busy, I'd mill one out of some scrap.? I have customized mine by making a large?handled nut for the top so if I need to reposition the post, I don't need a wrench.? I made the top nut out of a piece of 12L14 hex bar I had and the knob handle was left over from a project I did a few years ago.? The only cost was buying the metric tap for the nut as it was size I didn't own at the time.
