Quick adjustable workpiece support.

This adjustable fixture when collapsed is the height of my vice base and can quickly rise up to 50mm higher.

I like that vise stop when you watch the utube.

Thanks. It is all ground square and has tenons in the base. This keeps the face square to the vice so moving the plate keeps the end of the stop in the same position on the X axis. The mating parts are held together using a spring washer keeping them pressed against each other & don't need tightening when moved.

The height adjustment lever looks like it has a locking feature (by lifting the lever) as well. Is this the case?

Yes it can. It is a bit of a fiddle to get it in the right position with the right tension but once set it could replace the locking thumbscrew.

Impressive! This is the classiest machinist jack ever.
