We eliminated lynch mobs in Va.  :clap:

Not all of us colonists are adverse to metric. I find it much easier to work in the metric system. :D but in the colonies, if you smoke or drink, they impose a tax on your use or consumption. :( They seem to do the same thing when it comes to metric. I thought I was going to have to mortgage my house to buy a set of metric drill bits. :headbang: Of course, our leaders say this is in the interest of protecting our health. You know the old saying - BS, MS, PHD. :lol:

Ralph - Great job. I like your philosophy if your are going to make something it might as well look good. :clap:

Well I guess I'll add my mill top to this thread.

This one either came with the mill or it came from the guy that gave me some tooloing a while back. Either way it doesn't matter. It didn't cost me anything.



The smalled dia. at the end is 8mm (.3185"). Now all I need to do is drill an 3mm (.125") hole in the end to add a smaller stop. Another idea is I can make a flat blade to fit inbetween the vise jaws if need be.



Might even get incouraged to bling it up a bit, NOT.  :D

Bling is good, free tool is better :beer:

oooh very nice!

I have a big ole chunk of Delrin.. that is 2.5: diameter.

SHoot I even have some 3.5" Diameter PINK!!!... yes PINK!!! UHMW rod. I was going to make a set of suspension bushings for one of the kids I know who was going to start Drift Racing.

Since it just needs to be a repeatable stop.. I might use one of those.

Oh and Metrics are normal to me at least.. My first car I turned a wrench on was a 1980 Toyota Corolla. The mustang and Vette I never turned a wrench on. (Long story.)

Divided he ad:
Bernd, That looks quite sturdy  :thumbup:  I have one thing to question.... Is it ok to use when the part is not held in the vise inline with the 'T' slots? .... Or do you just use the edge of the stop with the head section pivoted?

 .... I was in the middle of scribling ideas down when I thought  :doh:  The 'T' slots are not always in line with the work!... Hence the freedom to position and clamp I arrived at   :)  (still got the abandoned C-o-C somewhere!)


Hey Scott.....

Ooooooo Sailor!!   show us your mill stop   :lol:

(Well I suppose I've just upset the naval contingency!! It's only a joke!!!   ::)  )


Yep, a stop is all it needs to be, as long as it's rigid (no pun! honest!)  it'll work    :)

We await the pictures of the finished article :bugeye:   :thumbup:
