I missed that question, sorry about that Jerry.
Yes the length stop is more for multiple parts, but as said above it allows you to put the part back in and easy pick up on it's coordinates again (now theres a big word for me, LOL)
It may also be used for things like drilling/milling in from the end of a piece, that way when you turn it around to do the other end it will be the same.
There are many ways it can be used.
I have just finished 46 tool holders and I could throw the next one in the vise against the stop knowing it would be in the same spot as the last one.
