Have an old craftsman drill press the same vintage as me, from the 50's. Never thought of this for a stop. New project as the factory stop is a pain in the you know what. Thank you for another great Saturday morning !

[@michaelcerkez3895]

Good morning Lyle. I'm just going to put you on pause so I can fill up my coffee and settle into your video.

[@mrpete222]

Hope you enjoy

[@johnmortland1558]

You know I need one of these. Heading to the shop to get started. Thank you

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@dannyl2598]

Thank you Mr Pete. I don't have a Bridgeport but I am learning, and enjoying this. Have a great weekend.

[@mrpete222]

👍

[@4SafetyTraining]

Always something to learn, I need a Bridge port.

[@mrpete222]

Yes, you do

[@rockityrock]

Did you do the Mr. Pete voice when you tought shop class? Bet you had the kids rolling.😂Interesting project.

[@mrpete222]

I do not remember

[@paulhunt598]

Great project! Way too hard and complicated for what is so easy to purchase, but what a grand idea. My Powermatic and DoAll drill presses have fancy OEM built in quick adjust stops, but my other drill presses use the thumb nut stops. I have never considered making quick stops for them, but I might have just earned a new shop project task. It might be simpler in my case to make a new stop threaded rod and thumb nuts to fit the commercially available Bridgeport quick stops. But you have me intrigued. You keep doing this to me. I wake up thinking my day is full of tasks, but it feels important to get in some recliner vicarious shop time. Then you give me a MORE IMPORTANT task to add to my list.😢

[@mrpete222]

lol

[@lloyd4768]

Thanks for this, I have an old drill press with a 1/2x12 depth stop thread so I definitely have to make one of those.

[@familyd5952]

Good Morning Mr Pete!!! The Tennessee Mole Man 👍🇺🇸🍊🍊🍊

Good morning!

Thank you Mr. Pete I did make the diamond wheel dresser.👍👍👍

[@SilenceDogood76]

This is a project where the journey is more valuable than the finished part. There are so many useful processes to learn here, and you end up with something useful. Great series idea. Thank you.

[@oddshot60]

I agree 100%.

[@mrpete222]

Yes, you are right

[@Ken_Fleming]

Nicely designed and simple which is all you need, all I did years ago on my small drill press is use a small metal spring clamp and bonded a nut which I cut in half and it's been working fine for years and the best solution for my Clarke drill press and only took me 30 minutes to make

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@scottjones7279]

Going to watch and give a thumbs up to 161 now👍

[@PatchManMary20]

Good morning Mr. Peterson. This video is just what I needed. My Bridgeport clone has a metric threaded shaft and an off the shelf rapid quill stop won't work. The threads are just close enough to the SAE threads that I can't simply rethread a store-bought stop, so you've given me another project to make. Thanks again for another great how to video!

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@ohmbug10]

Yeah, depth stops are cheap to buy but it's more fun this way. I do believe "fun" is the whole point of having a home shop anyway.

[@mrpete222]

So true

[@randyshoquist7726]

I must be a fool. I've made many items that I could buy cheaply enough, just for the fun of making them. I'd never though of making a quick stop for my drill press, but it's on my to-do list now.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, part two will be tomorrow

[@christurley391]

Thanks for the video

[@DavidHerscher]

The stop on my BP has a little button you push in that lets you freely slide it up and down the threaded rod. It doesn’t have the quick attach/detach functionality, but once it’s on it’s fast and easy to use. (Also, Kuh-nurling!) Mr Pete needs a Kuh-nurling T-shirt, or sticker, or something, lol.

[@mrpete222]

I just finished a two-part video on the push button quill stop. It will be released in the near future. Much more difficult to make and install. I wish someone would design such a T-shirt or a sticker for me.

[@jimadams8182]

It's a good time of year to get your springs out and give them a cleaning.

[@mrpete222]

My wife does the spring cleaning, i will set the drawer in her lap later today

[@llapmsp]

Now I have a reason to buy a bridgeport.

[@mrpete222]

Yes, get one

Love it and the advertisements at the end!

Glad it was helpful!

[@garthbutton699]

Good little project though I wish I had a Bridgeport, thanks for all your efforts🤗😎🤗😎

[@BedsitBob]

They should send you pictures even if it isn't successful, because they're even more fun. 😁

[@624Dudley]

I definitely need one of these…it takes ages to set the original Bridgeport depth stop. Thanks, Mr. Pete, you’ve given me inspiration! 👍

[@mrpete222]

👍

[@bitjockey6265]

Mr. Pete, you forgot to add your caveat: "...all you need to make this inexpensive item is $5,000 of machinery, tooling, and materials!" (You said that several years ago when you made a $15 conical center finder. I can't think of a better example of your humor!)

[@mrpete222]

True

[@justinbrewer8408]

Great project as always! BTW, I know you’re probably not looking for more ideas, but a series on running a horizontal mill would be awesome. There is not much out there about these and all the your tutorial series have been great and well worth the investment.

[@mrpete222]

I have been pondering that subject for a long, long time. But the amount of work involved in making a 40 chapter tutorialtutorial is mindblowing, and I’m not sure I’m up to it anymore. I originally intended to do this when I was given my. Clausing horizontal milling machine. I even went So far as to outline the chapter titles, but quite frankly, I have lost my followers, and have very few people watching my videos

[@justinbrewer8408]

@@mrpete222 I can totally understand that. Just know that your series have been tremendously helpful to me. Your shaper series were perfect for helping me get up and running this month with my Atlas shaper. I’ve got the South Bend and Bridgeport series too and all were excellent. Have a blessed Sunday

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Nice project always to see. Enjoyed. 😊😊😊😊

[@mrpete222]

Thank you! 😊

[@peterplanz2310]

I had one of those cheap stops from Enco. It was …… let’s say not the highest quality. This would have made a great g-job project back in the day.

[@BenButler1]

Great project Lyle! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@mrpete222]

👍

[@grahameblankley3813]

I know I shouldn't do this but I give you a like right at the start every time, your that good!!🇬🇧👍.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much for being presumptuous, L O L

[@normesmonde5332]

Love it

[@machinists-shortcuts]

These stops are mainly used as an up stop preventing the quill from fully retracting to speed up production. This is why they can be easily removed.

[@Toms4speed]

Someone snuck in a piece of 8mm key stock on ya lol.

[@tonypike5785]

Thats a good video, if i had a BP i would make one but a Tree Mill there is no need for such a thing. Thanks Mr. Pete. !

[@RambozoClown]

You should make one for the model.

[@mrpete222]

lol

[@bradmaynard1559]

Thanks!! I need to make one for my Index mill.

[@mrpete222]

Yes

[@Don458Lott]

Very good project. Have you ever made/thought about making a standard roller chain sprocket. My snowblower has a bad one and it is an obsolete part...Looking for sprockets and it looks like it is an odd number of teeth...I liked your spur gear make on the south bend lathe!

[@Siskiyous6]

A good project

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@user-rk4zm3nb5f]

Great stuff, I just watched part 2. Looking forward to making two. One for my Bridgeport and one for my Jet 17" drill press. When Enco was still around before being swallowed up and put out of business by MSC, you could buy these for $5. Henceforth, why I'm making vs. buying.

[@mrpete222]

That was cheap

[@robertdancho9671]

Good good and good.

[@mrpete222]

😄

[@robmatthews7972]

Mr. Pete, I don`t think that will work on my ENCO RF30 mill. Nice idea.

[@PaulSteMarie]

Leaving extra stock for cleanup is always improvement. Dunno that if I'd leave a ¼" on each end of a 1-½" part, but removing material is a lot easier than adding it, abom's expertise in that regard not withstanding.

[@ykmalachi]

I used my quill stop dozens of times last night.

[@russtuff]

This is extra interesting for me as I just scored a Bridgeport for $750 (video on my channel) and am just figuring it out. Thanks!

[@mrpete222]

I will have to watch your video, $750, that’s too good to be true

[@dablakh0l193]

I'm wondering if instead of putting an internal extension spring and the pinned hinge, you might just use a piece of spring steel on the end outside held in place by the threaded pins. I'll have to try making one like that.

[@mrpete222]

I would like to see you make one with that design and send me a picture. Thank you.

[@edwardhugus2772]

Great little useful tool..especially for a drill press (or the milling machine with no DRO) Do you find you use it as much since you have a DRO on the mill? Still loving all of your great videos....even the older ones!

[@mrpete222]

😄😄😄

[@corystewart6190]

But Mr Pete. Why didn’t you drill the hole for the spring at the same time as the slot for the hinge?

[@4speed3pedals]

I have the Magnum Sharpie markers in blue for makring and scribing. I tried the red and it just was not as dark as I would like it to be. Dykem has more pigment and works better so I will stick with the blue Sharpie. If only I owned a Bridgeport, my shop would be complete for my purposes.

[@mrpete222]

By is that Bridgeport, while you are still young enough to enjoy it

[@4speed3pedals]

@@mrpete222 IF only I were, I am 75 and still wanting one. Space in the garage is very limited just for me and my project car. Thank you for the encouragement.

[@nobbysworkshop]

Hi MrPete, inspired by one of your earlier videos, I made one of these about 4 years ago. I had to make one as in the commercial version the threaded hole is too large. My bench drill has an M10x1 thread. On my one the two knurled knobs hold the spring in place. I showed this quill stop on my video Bench Drill Upgrades about 7 months ago. Here is a link if you would like to take a look. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGjLh3RjgJ6fm8U Always watch your videos for knowledge and inspiration Cheers Nobby

[@mrpete222]

👍👍👍

[@PaulSteMarie]

Where did you grab that beautiful Starrett belt buckle and where can I get one???

[@mrpete222]

It was a gift. I do not know where to buy one.

[@longcaster]

My God man, how could you make a depth stop without a depth stop?

[@mrpete222]

I confess to owning three or four commercially made depth stops

[@dontcare5304]

I have a mystery tool, how would I go about sending it to you?

[@bwyseymail]

The design could be simplified by using a non-captive pivot pin as used in bow spring calipers. One thru hole between the blocks, a pin with a small head on each end and some angle cuts on the back edge for opening relief (could be filed).

Good idea, I would like to see you try it. I don’t think I will pursue it, because no one seems to be watching this video, which I already consider to be a failure.
