A Repeatable Mill Stop
HTML-код

- A short video showing the maching and the use cases of a repeatable mill stop.
The stop can be removed for machining of the work piece and then remounted to locate the next work piece within a tenth or two. The stop will work on either side of the vise, and is adjustable enough to to handle a range of work piece sizes and shapes.

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
Clever idea with the stop for the stop. I'm totally going to have to steal this idea from you, thanks!
Old video, but still so relevant, nice one. I'll build mine identical. Thanks
I've never seen anyone chamfer a hole with a boring bar before! Very impressive Dan...
Short of a CNC mill, it's about the only way to chamfer large holes on a mill.
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.
Awesome design I'm stealing that one!
I love the removable end
Hey Dan! Fantastic work as always. I love the stop for the stop idea.
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 RUclips 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.
Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it.
Great video. Congrats on getting time in teh shop.
I love your design, subscribed!
Thank You for the video. Definitely a useful and nice project. I want to also thank you for posting the plan set out on your website.
Thanks Joe, Glad you liked it.
Absolutely great vid...so detailed...such a clean cuts...!!! Thank so much! Double like fo sure! Subscribed. 👍✌️
Love it! Thanks for sharing 👍
Piece of art work Truly.
Thanks Ernie!
Very nice work.
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
It's super helpful when you working on parts in a 5C collet block.
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
@@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.
Thanks I do have some cold rolled steel in my storage. I’ll consider it
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.
@@Dans-hobbies Thanks... I just finished an online course for CAM (Titans Of CNC Building Blocks). This is going to be the first part that I am going to make on my CNC Mill!
A "slitting" saw? Wow. I've heard it all.
Very neat design. Gone on my todo list! Enjoyed your narrative, easy to follow while matter of fact. (Btw. Your sound is way out of sync)
It wasn't like that when I was editing it, I'll have to take a look.
very nice mill stop .noticed handle is removed for head adjustment .have you came up with better idea that crank handle ..
I'm not sure what you mean by removing the handle for head adjust. Everything can be adjusted mounted to the vise.
@@Dans-hobbies the handle to move z axis is not installed ..?I have similar.mill and want to install power z axis motor.
@@31pkelly ok, now I understand. I never use the handle because my mill came with a power z axis. All it really is is a gearhead motor that mounts directly to the screw and then has a up down knob on the control box.
is this not a vise stop?
Depending on where you are from and who you ask, you will find it has many names. Mill stop, vise stop, part stop, work stop, and I'm sure many others I'm not aware of.
@@Dans-hobbies Just asking as I have only just got my first mill and it can become confusing, I was looking for table stop I suppose is whats its called but I also need one of these so I will watch this tonight also
