Micrometer carriage stop

[Grinderman]

I've been wanting one of these for awhile but unwilling to pay the crazy ebay prices, so I made my own. I got some inspiration from mrpete and toms techniques and added a few things of my own. The body and dial are 6061 and the rest is mild steel. I was able to use the same 100 tooth saw blade for indexing and the same stamping jig used for making the larger dials for my 10F, so that saved a bunch of time. I added the knurled nut on the right side to lock the adjustment in place. It works well and is quite accurate, fun project.
