Here's a fairly easy to make and very useful mill vise stop. Support my channel, get your Winky's Workshop sticker here! markq6zlmc.fws.store/Workshop...
Hi Mark, I've watched the follow up as well where you build your additional stop as suggested by your friend at Knox Engineering - I subd there. Very neat bit of kit. Easy to add other 'stops' to it as well. What is really good about this kit of course is that it leaves the table surface free. BobUK.
Another simple fixture, well done. Keep your good ideas coming. Looks like good weather there from the Sunshine outside your workshop. Regards from Australia.
Thanks Harold. Yeah this one as been rolling around in the back of my head for quite a while. The other day I needed it when I was working on the lathe modification and it sort of reminded me. Joe pi. made something similar but without the square end.
To a very small degree I have done this from time to time. The links are sometimes under the videos. I did this with the mill fix, belt grinder and the square column drill press. The CAD drawings are a lot of work. I have thought about putting them on a web store and use a shareware type model. Free to download and tip me for my efforts if you like the drawings.
Looks like a nice afternoon project that doesn't require any modifications before use and is scalable for multiple vise designs and sizes. Thanks for sharing another creative idea.
Thanks! And yes... it should be easy to adapt to most vises. I'll likely use this clamp design for other project as well. It's strong and easy to make.
Good idea/build...suggestion, make another block with a small diameter rod with a S bend to reach into setups, bend allows different locations vertically and horizontal
I love my mill now that I addressed the round column issue, a misaligned lead screw and a quill lock that would not hold. With a lathe, mill, welder and grinder you and do amazing things.
@@WinkysWorkshop In grade school shop the first time I made a screw driver on the lathe I knew I wanted to be a machinist. I have access to a small belt drive lathe made in the 50's but as for a mill all I have is a large bench top drill press with a cross slide vise with adjustable gibs. Not all that accurate but gets me by for most things.
This is a cool design, I've seen a variety of them over the years but yours allows a thin part to be stopped. Still haven't made one for myself, not sure what style I'm going for yet.
The only negative I've seen to far is that it is slightly higher than the vise jaw. You might get away with using 3/8" x 3/4" stock but I was worried it might warp when clamped to the vise. I love the square end of the wider stop and I have already used it a bunch.
Great idea, great design, quick to install. However the amount of work, the number of parts needed makes me satisfied with the primitive alternatives I've got. But, in the need of a project, it's well worth going for. My Toolmakers vise has M5 screw holes that gives opportunitets for vise stops.
Synchronisity! I was looking around for a parts locator/vice stop and just didn't find anything that covered all my particular needs and wants. Maybe I'll tweak your design a bit. Thank you Sir Winky!
Great design! Mine is a slotted vertical, base bolted to table. Threaded rod with 2 nuts to set stop. Yours allows thinner work inside the vise. Better! Could you have made the bar longer to extend both ways from the vise and just leave it mounted all the time? Nice job!
Well... I made that in a pinch and didn't make a video. I was in the middle of a video and the original broke. I just used the part to make a new one. I think I brazed it. Sorry
Thank you for another helpful video. I have been going over designs for a stop myself. I like this one. Question: would it have been beneficial to make the sliding plate spaced away from the fixed jaw the thickness of a standard parallel? Then the stop could be used when work is resting on parallel. I really enjoy your videos and ingenuity. Regards from PA.
Integrating a vertical surface is BRILLIANT.
Thanks, I like it for sure!
Very good. I like the simplicity and effectiveness of the design.
Glad you like it! I'll likely use that pinned joint in other projects. It was easy.
Great idea and very well planned and built.
Thank you very much!
Nice simple design , works well and fits any vise! Fantastic!
Thank you very much!
Another awesome idea, thanks Mr. Winky!!!
Thanks Danny, this one has been lost in my brain for a while and I finally remembered it. Ha
@@WinkysWorkshop Crazy how that happens sometimes … I can relate!!!
Great idea! I especially like that the stop is full depth for squaring vertical parts
I agree. The square end is a huge plus. Thanks!
Thanks and yes, I have already used this aspect many times. I love it.
Nice upgrade - well done as always. Thumbs up!
Thanks 👍

Thanks Bob. Good that you subd. Welcome aboard
Great idea I love the ingenuity thanks for sharing your knowledge and the video
Very welcome
Cool design - thanks for sharing 🤓👍
Glad you like it, thanks!
I like it, Mark. Simple and effective.
Glad you like it
Simple, easy and effective, I like it.
Thank you Andy!
Very nice. Good thinking and design.
Thanks a lot
Thanks Winky, that was a good idea !
You are so welcome
I really like that idea , great share ! ENJOYED..
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent idea, even just for a drill press vice!
I love it so far, Thanks!
Another simple fixture, well done. Keep your good ideas coming. Looks like good weather there from the Sunshine outside your workshop. Regards from Australia.
Thanks Dave, yeah... the bright sunlight made it hard to see parts of the video but it sure is nice having the door open on days like this.
Good job Winky. First time to see a stop made that way but as usual it works fine.
Thanks Harold. Yeah this one as been rolling around in the back of my head for quite a while. The other day I needed it when I was working on the lathe modification and it sort of reminded me. Joe pi. made something similar but without the square end.
You should make a library for your projects if you have the drawings many folks like myself would love to have it

Thank you sir!
Cool simple and effective!
Glad you like it!
Great idea!
Thanks!

Cool idea! Although I one step ahead - Stay tuned for part 2 - I'll be posting in a few minutes.
Great project, good use for scrap
Yeah... it doesn't take much in the way of steel
I like the idea that you can make it as long or short as you need, very versatile
Gday, nicely done, great design
Hey, thanks!
Nice job.
Thanks!
Slick. I need a couple for my band saws. No mill but I have a file eh, LOL. Thanks bud. I would love a mill/drill like yours. Thanks my friend.
I love my mill now that I addressed the round column issue, a misaligned lead screw and a quill lock that would not hold. With a lathe, mill, welder and grinder you and do amazing things.

That'll work winky, my mill vise has a weird end on it,I've been looking at different ways to mount one,this ideal just might work. Great video.
That's great! hopefully it works for you.
Useful and handy to have Thank you for idea I think next step is copy paste Cheers
Glad it was helpful!
Looks very useful. Now I just need a mill, and a mill vice, and …
I was in your shoes not too long ago. I love having the mill.
Nice design...JWD.
Thank you! Cheers!

You are correct... there are ways around making the stop. Even something that locked into a t slot would work great.
Synchronisity! I was looking around for a parts locator/vice stop and just didn't find anything that covered all my particular needs and wants. Maybe I'll tweak your design a bit. Thank you Sir Winky!
Hey, no kidding? Tweak away, there is always room for improvements!

Yeah... the longer bar would work for sure. Good thinking.
nice short
Thanks
Very nice project. I just noticed you're vise handle, would you have a video on what you did to make it? Thanks for the video!
Well... I made that in a pinch and didn't make a video. I was in the middle of a video and the original broke. I just used the part to make a new one. I think I brazed it. Sorry
No problem, just thought I'd ask. Thanks for the reply!

Regards from PA.
Yes, absolutely I made another stop like this in a second video The advantage of this one is the square end but you can use whatever stop you need.
Nice job can you incorporate a scale on the bar
I would say you could.
Great stop. There is lots of T-slots there , is there any benefit in attaching the stop to vise?
Either way works but I think on the vise is a bit easier especially for small parts.
👍👍😎👍👍
Thanks Joel!
Wow looks like a little overkill .
Which might be why I roller the idea around in my head for about year. However... now that it is made it is very useful.
A nice addition to the mill vice.Thanks for the look.
You bet
