I thought about that. I use my collet changer as a stop at times. Unfortunately the Royal collet adapter won’t fit through the chuck body on my 8” chuck. It will on the 10” chuck but I like running the smaller chuck most times. I’d like to have something that installs deeper because of one repetitive job I do that needs the 2” diameter part to go deeper in the spindle.My lathe has an MT5 taper, so I just made that taper, with a giant screw/bolt/stop through it. The taper keeps it locked in place, the screw allows the stop to be positioned at the desired Z location, and could not come out anyway because the part is held in by the chuck jaws and blocks it.
