I have both dial and test indicators.
How are folks getting them on the spindle to do some measurements? Would love to measure bed flatness in X/Y.
For tramming I used a wooden dowel with a hole in each end 
Might be a first project in aluminium!
As per @RichCournoyer’s advice, I bought a Dovetail indicator holder took me a while when I was trying to figure out what they call these things. *Note: you’ll have to cut the shaft to length in order to fit it in the router/spindle.

Those were the magic words, found an Accusize one on amazon.ca for 20 bucks.
Hmm, what if my dial indicator doesn’t have a dovetail?
I use my test indicator on a plate of glass, does your test indicator have a dovetail?
My test does yes. I guess dial indicator for framming I will use the design shared above.
