Came across this while browsing on eBay, and thought it might make a quick and dirty focus mechanism:

There are lots of these available in various sizes and quality. I was thinking it wouldn't be too hard to attach a large flat plate to the top of this thing, and then just crank the knob by hand. Obviously not suitable for a large machine, but I'm only looking at a working area of 16 x 20 inches, so this might be fine.
