Cross Slide Production Stop

[Bill Gruby]

Have to cut a lot of fins on cylinders. I added this Cross slide stop to control the depth of cut. The fin OD is 1.375, the bore is 1.000 The valley depth between fins is 1.125. This only leaves .062 between good cut and disaster. It mounts to the carriage via the two 6 mm holes for the Follow Rest. Very simple to fabricate.

Nicely thought out, simple, and useful!

I like that lever nut on top of you tool holder saves looking for a wrench .

I use the same stop I use for threading clamps fast to the cross slidec on my 9A SB. Fits on the dovetail and clamps with a couple of brass tipped set screws. Anything to make a positive stop.
