I took a couple of pics today of the new depth stop while making slips for drawers ...

The new depth stock is excellent. I've been using it for a while now, and it has been reliable. I am still inclined to use the slot I cut in the screw head to lock it down a little more snuggly, but that is now just a habit speaking.
Basically, Lee Valley designed a small add-on to shift the position of the screw. It now longer tightens a collar over the depth stop shaft, but enables the screw to directly contact the shaft of the depth stop.
A hex bolt holds the add-on where the old screw held down the collar ...
Screw centred on the shaft ..
