Mk II coming soon? Perhaps with a 40tpi thread?

Darren,

Nope, what I have works as is, especially with the added swarf guard. I could reduce the diameter of the nut to create a gap.

Fair call Ed, as it is a quality carriage stop. I just know how you like to draw things up in CAD and then make them. Guess you have less time for machining now that you are brewing

Followed closely by the Mk III, then the Mk IV, then..............

I hate throwing away a usable tool especially after all of the work I put into it so I'll work with it's minor limitations. But you are correct in that I enjoy drawing up projects in CAD prior to making them. Not to fear though, I have plenty of other projects on the list.

Thanks George. No acknowledgment necessary though. I just ask that you start a thread and post pictures as the project progresses.
