I'm looking for a micrometer adjustable carriage stop like the one in this post...

I would try making one myself but don't have access to a mill nor the expertise to accurately reproduce the dial adjuster. I tried making a different type (spectacular failure on a few levels). That venture cost me a new DP chuck ( yeah, I tried milling on the DP) and about $30 to get a slot cut in the alum. stock piece a few towns over. I did see a one-bolt clamping version on ebay, but would prefer the two-bolt setup like listed above ( seems less likely to get cocked when mounting/moving it). Also the way the headstock casting is shaped on the Atlas 10100 Mk.2 is giving me fits on getting anything to tuck under there so I can work closer to the chuck. Tom's version seems like it would fit what I need but I can't find one for sale anywhere. Thanks.
