here's a shot of the stop on the lathe, I'm pretty much done with it now, only thing left is the vernier scale on the thimble which I don't know if I will do or not. If I do the scale I'll also at that time put a larger radius on the front edges of the housing so that they match the Thimble which will make it a little easier to get one's thumb on it to make adjustments.

Steve I don't think it will really need a lock, I don't do production runs, it works nice and easy but also has some stiffness to it that will keep it from spinning while the lathe is running. if it needs anything else I would say a clear cover over the thimble to keep grit out of the thimble area would be what it needs.
