Thanks Bob, I'm pretty pleased with it! Looking for a smaller chuck (1/4 or 3/8) though as this has limited space between chuck and shaft on my small lathe. Might make up another shaft with 3/8-24 threads to expand my options.

got sidetracked making a DTI holder yesterday 
Got even MORE sidetracked figuring out how to cut 0.5mm pitch threads on my Atlas, which involved several hours of staring at the threading chart (think I understand it now) and then 10min using nthreadp to calculate the gears I needed.
my super awesome Scherr Tumico metric DTI had a 4mm shaft with M4x0.5 threads, whereas my workaday Gem DTI (eternal thanks to Vancbiker) has a 1/4in shaft, so I thought I'd take the "easy" route of making a new 1/4in with M4x0.5 threads. Hah, some easy route. Anyway, after a number of hours, here it is! Printer shafts make lovely material, although the threads are a little loose as my threading tool has a nose radius for larger threads.

the DTI that will live in it
I really should do some bike maintenance, but I also really want to make some toolholders..
