Hi All
A few photos that might help someone with the same Axi drill press (ATDP16B) .
I bought plastic Vernier from fleabay to make drilling holes easier and used the bracket that was meant for the guard. I drilled a hole to fit between the 10mm nut and then managed to twist 2mm alum plate so I can fix the Vernier to it. Added extra alum strip to attach to the moving jaw on vernier .
Very simple but seems to work.
Hope this helps someone.

Consider cutting off the internal measuring jaws. Even though they are plastic, it will hurt when you gash your hand on them.
