Hi,
These where made a few years ago so I would post them up here.
This vise stop is more suited to a Kurt style vise, but could easily be used on any style of vise by taping 2 holes into the back of the vise for it to be mounted.
I have seen a few good vise stop designs around the internet so I picked a bit here and there and added some of my own ideas.
It is all made from mild steel I had laying around, the main round bar is 28mm round x 330mm long the slotted bar is 12x32x150mm long, the sliding block is 21x21x51 high and the adjustable stop rod is 8mm round x 210mm long. This rod is a hardened rod out of a pallet nailing machine. The son in law works their and these are changed out every so often and he picked them up for me (all my friends and family are helpful and are always bringing me things like this)
I machined a flat about 6mm deep in the main round bar to give it a flat so it sits firmly against the vise and countersunk the M10 socket head screws into the back of it to suit the vise. I drilled 3 holes so it is adjustable and taped each end M10 so it can be changed to either side of the vise easily.
The flat bar was drilled out all along with a 9mm drill bit, then slotted with a 10mm end mill and the again with a 20mm one for a recess for the T nut to slide in.
As seen in one of the pictures below I rounded it off with a end mill pivoting it around a socket screw clamped in the vise. Having the head of the socket screws on top stops it climbing up the end mill. It is just done by hand a little at a time but don't try climb milling when doing it or it will get ripped out of your hands, after each cut move the job away from the cutter to return it.
In another picture you can see the allen key I made up so it is only the one allen key to adjust anything on it to save time looking around for them. I just welded a piece of 4mm to the 8mm key.
The smaller vise stops are for clamping onto the top of the vise jaws and can be used for any vise. These are not new and Chinese one's are sold in the US. They can also be made with longer rods and be used as a table stops clamped from one T slot to the other.
Again I just made these from steel I had laying around and they are 33mm long x 18mm high x 9mm each side wide, with a 5.5mm x 5mm step machined into them to site on the vise jaw. The rods a 1/4inch and the socket head screws are 6mm. I heated them up and gave them a dunk in oil to blacken them when they were finished.
These have worked out to be more handy than I thought and I recommend them to you guys even if you buy them.
