PeterE:
Making the bar saddle stop gave me an idea for a helper when graduating. This version of the saddle stop uses much the same main block. Then a "star wheel" with three pegs is attached so that it can stop the saddle at three different distances (mine is set so that the "ones" peg is the longest, the "5s" peg is 1.5 mm shorter, and the 10s peg is 3 mm shorter than the 1s peg.

The following pic is in the middle of work:

Here we can see the star wheel and the main block. Looking closer at the main block there are two holes in the block, one for attaching the star wheel and the other is for a "drill-tip-pointed" plunger that together with a small spring will give click stops for the star wheel.

To make it easier to visually separate the pegs, the 1-peg has one ring, the 5-peg has two rings, and the 10-peg has three rings. they are going to be red later on.

Fitting the star wheel to the block it looks as follows:

... and from another angle.

Now it only remins to see if this works :D
