Here is a tool I just finished up (have been needing / wanting ) this for quite a while just hadn't gotten around to it. This is built to fit my 10x22 King lathe . The plans were taken from another site but are dimensionally correct. The main body is milled from a discarded pressure disk from a heavy truck clutch ( highway tractor) and an excellent source of cast iron , this one came from a damaged in shipping clutch so was in touched.. I might add that it machined beautifully. The pressure screw and jam nut are from 3/4" 1144. threaded 3/8"-16tpi.
Update on the carriage stop! It would appear that cast either wasn't the material to use or I was ALOT closer to the shoulder than I was thinking I was? Ultimately the upper portion of the stop split at the top angle relief cut. It would appear that I gained some valuable experience and get to try again... The stop did work well as long as I was paying attention to what was going on.
