Chuckled a bit, I've done something similar for form turning. If you really want to save time use the parting insert as a stock depth stop and get yourself a DRO. Good to see old ideas still kicking around in the home shop.
Great idea. I was going to mount a digital caliper as a depth stop but thought this was cooler.😎Working on the Cnc lathe next. I’ve also ground out shapes in high speed steel in the past. Fun stuff!
Neat tool.
If you switch out the cutter clamp nut for a wing nut you can tighten it more easily without a wrench ;)
Good idea!

Thank you.
This sort of thing was common on screw machines, as well.
Interesting. Thanks for letting me know. Now to find one on marketplace. 🤠
