Shopbuilt - lift stop Positioner

[@williambutler3695]

How does this compare to other flip stops like the ones from Rockler or Kreg? What makes yours better? I don't mean that in a bad way. Just give us a sales pitch. Why buy the shopbuilt for $40 when I can get a similar one from Rockler for just $17?

[@Shopbuilt]

+William Butler first I like people to know they are not just buying a flip stop, they are helping to support the shopbuilt KZbin channel. Secondly I feel you are getting way more quality than the rockler one with the stainless steel barrel/ hardware and thick aluminum arm. Thirdly, this is not mass produced in China, or made from extruded aluminum where they only have to cut the parts to length, it's hand built and produced in my home town. The kreg unit does seem to be a decent unit but unfortunately someone like my can't compete with a big brand like that on cost. The rockler unit looks like you'll get what you pay for. I hope that helps Thank you for the consideration:)

@@Shopbuilt I am assuming these are not for sale anymore

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Impressive turn around time on this, Ryan. Love seeing new ideas around products. Good stuff!

[@Shopbuilt]

Thanks man!!

[@ryantaylor6831]

My first thought was that I could make one of these myself with the tools I have. Then I realized two things. One is that I probably wouldn't get to it for a while and I'd really like to have one of these. The other part, is the time and effort you put into this Ryan. I think you have a real solid product here and in addition to your great channel content, you have been willing to bring us along for the design process and you deserve my support. I just placed my order.

[@Shopbuilt]

thanks man, I really appreciate it;)

[@American_Woodworker]

Bought two earlier today. I'm looking forward to using them in the shop. Great job! They look like a solid tool that will last for years.

[@Shopbuilt]

Thanks man!!!

[@EvanDunville]

beautiful product I hope you keep making them I won't be able to order untill the summer. the design is fantastic.

[@Shopbuilt]

thank you!!

[@vnelsontx]

Great job Ryan, I just bought one. About to start my Miter Station build and this will be a great addition. Keep up the awesome work!

[@Shopbuilt]

Thanks man!!!

[@denisrubin7401]

Great work. Cursor and nylon nut addressed both of my concerns.

[@Shopbuilt]

nice;)

[@BruceAUlrich]

Those turned out great! I will definitely keep this in mind for the future.

[@Shopbuilt]

Thanks Bruce!

[@mclartywoodworks6690]

Looking good man! Glad you added the washers for protection. That knob is personally too big for me, but I know I can replace it with a smaller knob to fit on my miter saw station. Well executed! Planning on snatching me one here soon.

[@Shopbuilt]

thanks for the feedback;)

[@HeavyTone66]

looks well made and well thought out. Really competetive pricing for precision cut piece, great work, I hope you sell heaps.

[@Shopbuilt]

Thank you!

[@reesewoodworks]

Just bought one! Been watching and waiting from the start! Thanks Ryan!!

[@Shopbuilt]

+Clark Reese thank you!

[@Retroweld]

That looks really nice. Well done!

[@Shopbuilt]

thank you!

[@ScottKershawRX]

I just threw down for one Ryan! Stoked to play with it and happy to support you!!!

[@Shopbuilt]

Thanks Scott!

[@andrewlay3219]

Purchased, can't wait to put them to use. Been waiting for them to release to build my miter station. Excited to receive them!!!!

[@Shopbuilt]

Awesome, Thank you!

[@conradjl03]

Looks awesome! Good luck, I hope you sell a good bit of those! As an R&D engineer, I think you've got a pretty good design for cost and efficiency... Once I get some space for a table saw and nice size bench, I'll grab a few of these!

[@Shopbuilt]

thank you!!

[@waynek848]

Nice work! I really like this. And since I have not built a sled yet this will be a nice add-on.

[@Shopbuilt]

+Wayne K thanks!

[@joecnc3341]

Great Video- glad that I discovered your channel. I hope that you return to posting videos. You do nice work and have great ideas.

[@JohnHeisz]

I like it! :)

[@Shopbuilt]

+John Heisz thanks John!

[@KSFWG]

I purchased one. It's going to see use at several tools. Thanks, Ryan!

[@Shopbuilt]

thanks man, I appreciate it!

[@jparra4766]

Price is fine. Just ordered one and can't wait to get it and try it out. Thanks!

[@Shopbuilt]

thank you!!

[@Newfinishconcrete]

Ordering mine now! Excellent work dude keep it up

[@Newfinishconcrete]

Ordered! Can't wait to incorporate it to my shop. Thanks dude

[@Shopbuilt]

Nice, Thanks!!

[@sicstringerman]

They look great. Nice job.

[@Shopbuilt]

thank you!

[@phillipoyler5742]

Looks really good!! Just placed my order. I would rather buy from a fellow maker then a big company. Keep up the good work!!!

[@Shopbuilt]

thanks man!!

[@GarageWoodworks]

Nice. Definitely well thought out.

[@Shopbuilt]

thanks you!

[@lucienlasocki2544]

Do you think you could make a video showing how to make a crosscut sled with your flip stop, t-track, and a scale?

[@GregsGarage]

That looks awesome. Def on my list.

[@Shopbuilt]

thanks!

[@justinprewitt245]

This is awesome. I'm going to be building a table saw sled soon. So I will be ordering one or 2 soon.

[@Shopbuilt]

thank you!

[@pgfollett]

Let's see; 2 for the miter saw station, 1 for the drill press, 2 for the router table and another for the table saw. I think a 5+ price may be in order. That would help with shipping costs, too.

[@ryantaylor6831]

I’d really like another one of these… any chance you might still be making them?

[@Spencer6th]

thanks for the reply, for that, i shall put my order in and wait patiently till you have more .

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

cool! that's a fancy finish!

[@Shopbuilt]

thanks:)

[@TheMusicalox]

Looks like a winner Ryan! Have you thought about producing a model for 1/4" tee track? For better or worse, i built all my fences for crosscut sled etc using 1/4" tee track.

[@SuperBardley]

Because of the round base block it should work if you swap out the 5/16" bolt for a 1/4-20.

[@Shopbuilt]

i tried it in a 1/4" T-track from lee valley and seemed to work fine, even with the 5/16" bolt.

[@katzmosestools]

Yo bud! Great product. However, the link included in the description is the admin login for your wordpress site.

[@Shopbuilt]

+Katz-Moses Woodworking Shop thanks! Should be good now

[@ozzydeschapell3618]

I really want to get one but I'm not sure what I would use it can you do a video with different use around the shop?

[@ErikSnell]

Great updates. Will put it in my wishlist.

[@Shopbuilt]

thanks;)

[@shaunnapierccc4191]

Great job man!

[@Shopbuilt]

thank you!

[@jaredturner7204]

Any chance that I could still purchase a few of the flip-flops from you? I got one from you originally, absolutely love it, and there is not a single one on the market or homemade that is better than yours. Please let me know, I would like to buy three or four.

[@artconnolly9519]

Very cool brother what hight does the fence need to be ? they look amazing btw

[@bradphelps9458]

I ordered one of these right after they became available and finally have it. It had to come in sort of a long route. I live in Mexico and volunteer at a school designed to teach carpentry to young Mexicans. I knew I was going to Chicago for a woodworking class so I had it sent to a friend who would send it to me while I was there. I just returned yesterday and can't wait to take it to the school and figure out ho to adapt to the radial arm saw that gets use constantly. Love the design and quality. Thanks.

[@mattvandyke1104]

Going on my wishlist now, thanks for videos.One question, I recently picked up one of the Ridgid R4512 table saws and find the fence to be lacking (first one had a y-axis bow, second one will not stay parallel to miter slot). Can you do a vid or send message detailing what you did to your fence to create a repeatably flat and parallel face?Thanks again!

[@Shopbuilt]

Thanks! To be honest, i didn't have any issues with the fence.

[@ryantaylor6831]

I have the Craftsman saw very similar to the Ridgid. I had a lot of trouble with the fence too and ended up replacing it with the Vega Pro 50. I absolutely love it! It was worth the money to upgrade. It improved my accuracy and ease of setup significantly.

[@mattvandyke1104]

Shop built I was referring to the face you added to the fence

[@mattvandyke1104]

Ryan Taylor wish I could afford that right now. saving up for planer and jointer first.

[@supergimp2000]

Love this. Concerned about the height. What fence height is this designed for? Worried my fence may be too short.

[@Shopbuilt]

yes, fence height is important. 3.5"

[@supergimp2000]

Ah. Thanks. Have to double check mine but it might work. Looks taller in the video.

[@tooljunkie555]

QUESTION:: IS 5/16" T TRACK STANDARD SIZE? the track i have is 3/4" same size as the miter slot on my table saw..? DOES IT COME WITH A STICKER? i dont have one from ya or we could swap??🖒 thanks bro

[@Shopbuilt]

is long as it excepts a 5/16" bolt, you should be good;) no sticker yet, I'll have to get some made!

[@tooljunkie555]

Shop built ok thanks bro..and congrats!

[@himonides]

congratulations! tried to order but realised that shipping to the UK is not available. Were you planning to introduce this soon?

[@Shopbuilt]

I'm hoping to ship internationally soon, I just have to make sure i know all the ins and outs first;)

[@himonides]

many thanks! looking forward to it... best, Evangelos

[@m.emrahozkaya9903]

looks awesome!

[@Shopbuilt]

+knight rider thank you !!

[@SethMesser]

Purchased! Thanks Ryan.

[@Shopbuilt]

thanks man!!

[@TheWoodKnight]

Link to purchase is wrong - its your WP-Admin/preview link ;)

[@Shopbuilt]

+Paul Jenkins thanks Paul, should be good now.

[@robsan19]

Tried to get on your waiting list, but clicking the link does nothing.

[@chin1769]

This is awesome, it's great to see someone starting a little business like this where you are building and selling something you designed yourself. To generate further sales you should check out a new video sharing app called Peeks Social. It's more about live streaming although you can still upload videos, but the difference is viewers can throw real money your way as tips to give thanks. Bigger yet though, soon they are adding the ability to sell products right from a video stream without ever having to leave for another website to make the purchase. Check it out sometime, it's new but has some potential and is pretty neat I think. Anyways keep up the good work and good luck with sales!

[@tooljunkie555]

congrats on the new product!& very good safety issue fyi..that wood suck! hopefully it's in my price range because I'm making a router table currently and could definitely use one I would much rather buy something from a fellow youtuber/maker then something from say idk rockler or kreg tools

[@waynek848]

The t-track is not included, right?

[@Shopbuilt]

no, sorry.

[@waynek848]

Shop built do you recommend a source for t-track?

[@Shopbuilt]

Canada, from lee valley. America i'm guessing rocklar. Not sure elsewhere.

[@shannonhayes2957]

Hi Ryan will you ship to Australia

[@Shopbuilt]

I'm hoping to ship world wide soon, I just gotta make sure I know all the ends and outs first.

[@shannonhayes2957]

Thanks for the reply mate

[@FredMcIntyre]

Really cool!

[@Shopbuilt]

thanks!

[@troppysholzhuette]

very nice

[@Shopbuilt]

thank you!

[@richie4ohio]

Why don't people just use a miter saw to do cross cuts??? I am curious. That is what I use all the time.

[@SuperBardley]

Miter saw size and accuracy are limited

[@Shopbuilt]

because mitre saws are constructed with a large over hung arm, there can be a lot of flex when "chopping" through the workpiece creating a possibility of inaccuracy. some chop saws are better than other. With a table, you push the workplace through the blade which limits the possibility of flex or wobble in the blade. it also with give you a cleaner cut.

[@robertbrunston5406]

Thanks.

[@kevinalmeyda]

If you ever want to trade some anodizing (we run black everyday) for a flip stop, hit me up. Though shipping might make it not worthwhile (I'm in NJ). Great looking product by the way.

[@Shopbuilt]

if i didn't need to engrave after the anodizing, i would take you up on that:)

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

I really wanted to buy one for my new drill press table, but the link requires me to install a new browser, which I won't do. Oh well.....

[@bobparlevliet1776]

Nice product! Btw, your shop says PERcision Lift Stop instead of PREcision

[@Shopbuilt]

thanks, all fixed up:)

[@WorkingWood]

Ryan, start a Patreon site and I'll gladly give you a few bucks as I love your content. I would love to buy one or more of these stops but the shipping kills it. No way am I going to pay more than twice as much to get this to a Canadian address than it costs for the US.

[@Shopbuilt]

+Graham Howe I understand, I talked to Canada Post and they don't offer a "no frills" shipping option like the US does. I going to talk to some other carriers to see if I can get a better rate. Worst case I'll set up a flat rate for Canadians. Shipping in Canada sucks!

[@m93sek]

Great product, but 40 bucks is a little steep for me

[@djlambert625]

Atlantic Film well kreg is $40, and it is too big for this.

[@justinkasey1058]

Atlantic Film its very expensive to produce small run specialty products for a low price especially when made in America by local businesses. chose what you want to support, there are corporations that mass produce products in China where pollution and labor laws are 40 years behind ours.

[@Shopbuilt]

Thanks Justin:)

[@Spencer6th]

you know i was almost through buying one of these, until you hit me with $43.00 USD shipping, i don't mind supporting something, but not for that kind of cost. That shipping cost is uncalled for.

[@reesewoodworks]

Peter K there was an $8 option for US shipping

[@Spencer6th]

Clark Reese i live in Canada,

[@Shopbuilt]

+Peter K there certainly should be a cheaper option, I'll have to look into it as Canada Post automatically calculates the shipping cost.

[@WorkingWood]

yeah this stopped me too. I am in Alberta and cheapest shipping option was $18.51.

[@Spencer6th]

Graham Howe my total was going to be $112.00 CAD

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

Why do you sell US money , what is wrong with our Canada currency

[@Shopbuilt]

+James Gaulton just becuase only 5% of my viewers are Canadian, and like 65% USA. I decided to go with the majority.

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

I understand that but I hate what the banks will charge to convert my Canadian money to buy US money,, you have a great channel enjoy what you do,
