I'm old, but new to machining, I had to laugh because I saw your mock up of your stop and said "wow, that looks complicated" and the next line from you was "as you can see from the render, it's a fairly simple design". It does look great and super practical tho. I also really like how you covered your mill with wood

I love the stop's stop. It also solves the problem where the stop needs to be raised, lowered, extended and retracted as it just pivots in the same X position (providing the rear bar is level and parallel to the X axis). The facility to slide the rear bar to either side and the universal clamps to hold on various size vices are superb. A similar solution is the datum retaining vice stop which also retains it's X position when moved. It only has 3 parts but can't be removed as easily or able to work from both sides. Subscribed.

I've never seen anyone chamfer a hole with a boring bar before! Very impressive Dan...
@Dans-hobbies6 жыл бұрын
Short of a CNC mill, it's about the only way to chamfer large holes on a mill.

Thanks Stuart, it really helps a lot with operations that require you to get the stop out of the way.

Hi we really like your knee milling machine t-slot and table top protectors, they are nice these are the second time we have sen them in these KZbin videos. We like the paint color white or almond nice touch, also we like the bar round and those two mounting clamps on the back (out of the way) vise, love the remove and reinstall stop location for repeating yet able to remove this over and over again tolerance enough for that. Your design is well thought out, thank you for sharing this with us. Lance & Patrick.

I like the design, a mill stop has been on my list also, the feature that I think is neat is the intermediate stop so you can remove and replace the end stop. I probably do a version my self

I could see that. I printed the drawings today. I have a question do you think aluminum would make good brackets? I have a lot aluminum in stock that’s the correct size. Of course I’m going to Metal Supermarkets today to rummage in the scrap bin so I might find something
@Dans-hobbies6 жыл бұрын
@@JamesDedmon I only see one potential issue with aluminum, and that depends how much you use it, and how hard you crank down on the cap screws. After a lot of use the threads might pull out of the blocks.

Really nice design! Just curious if you think the mounts could be made out of 6061 aluminum? I just finished converting a mill to CNC and am thinking about milling these from aluminum. Any thoughts?

Yea, I think would work fine in aluminum, it will just wear a little faster.
