Vise stop for Bridgeport vise

[kvom]

At school I made a clamp-type stop that clamps to the fixed jaw of a Kurt vise. However the jaws on a Bridgeport vise are slanted, so I can't use it. I do plan to replace this vise with a Kurt, as a friend just bought a BP with no vise and has agreed to buy mine. In the meantime, I made this one out of a few pieces of steel I had lying about:

Should be OK for the shortterm.

A small Kant-Twist can be clamped to most vise jaws to make a convenient stop:

If I'm not using the nicer stop (see below), I almost always slap a Kant-Twist on even if I'm not planning on needed a stop. You just never know when it might be convenient to remove the workpiece and want to put it back in the same place.

I made a vise stop that attaches to the rear jaw holes of my Kurt:

Cheers!

That's mighty slick, Bob. :bow:

In the 4wd world, my "design" would be termed "booty fab".

Nah, I need one like your table stop too.

A man can't have too many gadgets in his shop!

"Booty Fab"

Sounds like kind of a one-bunned sort of thing. :big:

I like it!

Since I'm selling this vise, I don't want to drill any holes in it. Besides, it's trammed in nice and square at the moment. ;D

Hmmm .... some familiar names over there - has there been a mass exodus I don't know about?
