... bicycle handle bar nuts fit the 7x bore.

I just tapped one to fit some 1/8" threaded tube used for lamps
(straight 1/8" x 27 pipe), bored the other out with some slop to allow
it to move up the wedge.
Welded a 1/4 x20 coupler to one end and used a pipe nut (modded to
straight 1/8" x27 thread) as a jam nut. The plastic 1/4x20 wingnut sets
the depth stop. The aluminum spacer gets it thru the change gear door
(I have a hinged door on mine with a captive thumb screw so it's a bit
longer..)

WAM;
nice job on that!

Thanks!!... Been wanting to do that for a while. I made some ends that
allow me to get past the chuck jaws and do down to 1/8" diameters. I
made the body of it .63" to fit the 3" chuck bore to center the .11"
stop end. The stop ends thread into the body so I can make various sizes
as needed.

I drilled the draw bolt for my collet chuck, so I could run a stop through it.
I just used 1/4 in, redi-bolt, for the stop,so I could adjust it all thr way from the collet, to the nut
on the end of the spindle.
