Because you mentioned vice stop, Ill attach a pic of one I made recently just for other ideas. But if I had to make it again, I would extend the slit past the 1/4" rod hole. Because... the steel is from 5/8" stock & I have to torque the two 8-32 capscrews pretty good to lock the rod down (ie a lot of strength/resistance from the steel itself).
