Ralph,

As usual, wonderful work, and I promise you, once you have used one, you will try to find jobs where you can use it.

Hey Ralph...

That is one nice stop. Much nicer than the one I built awhile back. The design is much more simple, but from the looks a lot easier to use. Nice job!

Ah, got it now Ralph, bloomin' obvious now init !!  :doh:

Thanks, looking good there..... :thumbup:

Divided he ad:
Cheers folks, I found after a brief yet intensive search very little came up in the way of simple mill stops out there...

Though I did find some nice pictures of some young women,but they really didn't seem to be aware of what a mill stop was??  ::)


I had to think my way through this one, I just tried to remember John's stop, then looked through the drawer of metals to see what I had.... Then just made it up as I went along. Didn't even measure the width, height or depth of the main parts!! (just guessed the approx sizing for the photo's in the bucket!) I just made sure all the important bits fitted  :thumbup:

Never thought of stamping them Bernd..... I'll look through my photo's and get the finish dates of all my builds, Then I'll stamp 'em all   :hammer:   :)

I like the bling. I'd say you have the makings of an heirloom mill stop there.

Well John it's funny you should mention that, cause it was the job that pushed me toward the stop :) But I'm sure I'll find many more  :thumbup:


Eric,
copy all you want,  just look at the pic's and see what you can come up with?  It shouldn't be an issue for a man of your caliber   :dremel: 
It's real easy to use, release the lock screw and move the bar into position, lock it up again and your away  :thumbup:  It can have add on's too, thread the end of another bar and you can use shaped stops if nessersary, curved or big flat ones etc for multiple parts to butt upto etc.....


Darren.... Glad you found it, didn't like to say it was so bloomin' obvious    :lol:

OMG you need to post sooner!!!!

I was making a.... rube goldberg camera mount... and basically teaching my oldest how to measure, and do basic stuff with the mill and lathe.

I will post pics most likely on Thursday after I get up.

BUT

I had to make 3 identical parts that were square pieces of steel with a hole drilled and then tapped in them, in the same spot. And I got the mill all set up, drilled it.. then tapped tha the hole. Then pulled that part, and had to go through the setup all over again for the second part.. and then the third.
After doing the first one I told him how I wished I had some way to make sure the part was in the same place each time!!
 :doh:

I see that being another project after I finish the goofy camera mount.
