Thanks Martin, those are awesome but don’t think they will work for this. I will file those away for the chop saw, which is a project hopefully coming up after I wrap this up. I ended up just ordering parts to make the stop. I changed it a bit from what I showed above. I think it needs to be slim and sturdy and that’s where I’m having trouble finding a good ready made setup. The slim stuff out there on the market looks like it’s fragile.
The maya stops look really top notch, the posi stop especially which is a slick idea. I’ll probably end up buying them for the chop saw.
I had a chance to finish the fence proper. I bored the reciever, shortened the shaft, cut a d profile into it then drilled and tapped the shaft (again, fixing what went haywire the first time) and bored the countersink for the bolt. All in that was 2 hrs of machine work.
Adding bearing bronze inserts paid off, moves without screeching.
