Have seen Dan Gelbart's video series? He has a QUILL MOUNT center finder on his mill. I have been trying to find plans for his laser center finder, but no joy. I really like the idea of a quill month over a spindle mount (quick checks with tool still mounted). Also, John Norman has an adaptation of Dan's idea on you tube.

I saw a youtube vid of a chap who had it mounted at a variable able for centering the mill on an existing hole, it was quite clever and simple, im gona google now and see if its the same one

check the july hmsc newsletter. there is one with 2 lasers that you use while machine is running, eliminates all runout so is quite accurate. I myself use a centering scope I got years ago. the crosshairs are .0004 wide at 6", more than good enough for anything I do.http://homemetalshopclub.org/news/14/newsletter1407.pdf#page=5
