I am thinking a dowel pin and some loctite, and then make up the stationary holed nut. Laying out the holes and drilling them is not that complicated. A piece of something about 8mm thick or 3/8" would have enough beef to be easy to work with. I think I would do all the drilling and filing before I removed the piece from the original stock. And cut it off with a hole saw. Use the trick I have seen to drill a hole on the perimeter of the O.D. to let out the swarf from the hole saw. I picked up a decent set of carbide tipped hole saws when I was in China a few years ago. I love them. They sure beat a twist drill in anything thinner than 1 inch I can tell you that.

No reason a castled nut wouldn't work. it would be limited on fin adjustment but that may not be a huge issue for many operations. I personally like a spring-loaded quick nut, and setting my milling cutters to a predetermined depth in the collets, but that's just me

Never try to tell me it can't be done
When I have to paint I use KBS products
The only kick in the pants will be that at least on my drill press the threaded column is "D" shaped. So it will require some filling in and then filing to shape. Probably a bit of weld on the inside and then some filing. I am not adverse to a scratch build as it is probably the same amount of time in the end.
