I never liked how long it took to adjust the 2 nut do stop, and the clamp on one I had from Grizz didn't fit my old Craftsman do.
So I made one, using a large nut, with a threaded hole in 1 flat.
Adjusts real fast.

Very first one of the three was fine.

If I remember right (probably not), there was an article in some magazine on how to manufacture your own. Problem is, even though I've wanted something different, I don't remember the article, nor did I get around to just making one. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Grizzly lists a "quick quill depth stop" which I have been looking at.

   Today, not for the first time, I was futzing with my drill press depth stop 
   and NOT having a good time.

   Stock , 1968 Powermatic drill press with a 1/2-20 threaded rod depth stop
   that uses to nuts to "sorta" hold the wanted depth. Hard to adjust, because
   you have to tighten one against the other and , etc.  Blech.

    Anyone here use one?  Looks like an elegant solution to my "problem."

    And, we draw names for Christmas in the extended family.  I have been asked
    multiple times now "what I want for Christmas."   This may fill the bill....

I have a Delta X5 drill press and the quill stop is excellent, it has a round nut and a push button in nut, you just push the button and slide where you want and release. Don't know if this helps.

Here is 1 I found online:   http://www.renovoparts.com/a02567-stop-r...wer-tools/

For clarity, I took a pic on drill press.

Interesting......didn't know Jim offered that. Have to see if it'll fit my Delta Radial Ram drill.

Thanks.
