I made a quick video showing how I calibrated my Z-axis, along with the final result.
Basically the dial indicator is attached to my spindle mount via some threaded rod.

Very nice! You should throw that video into the troubleshooting/maintenance video thread too, it would be great to have a second method to attach the dial indicator in there.
I will do another example with the stock Inventables Dewalt mount in a few weeks.
I am amazed how simple it worked, and how accurate the final result was.
FYI For anyone wondering, the mount is Targ’s (from the ShapeOko forums) Makita mount design.
Did not show how you did it.
