Hey Rick,

From the looks of Grizzly's parts list, it may be quite simple to replace the depth stop rod with a plain 'ol piece of 1/2-20 threaded rod, then you could use the Bridgeport style push button or clamp-on depth stop. The push button is very convenient - you depress the button and the stop slides freely for quick adjustment, with the threads engaged you turn the stop for fine adjustment. You may not get a scale in this configuration, but the ease of use and positive repeatability are worth the trade-off.
