At the shop where I work I use a 3/4" round bar with a short 1/2-13 male thread on the end so that end attachments may be easily changed.

Nice design. Any reason why you prefer a male thread on the end? Wouldn't a female thread be "more" flexible? Guess it works either way.

I have used a part stop in my old Craftsman lathe headstock for many years. When making multiple parts, it provided accurate positioning of the parts in the chuck and it allowed removal of parts for measurement when machining to precise lengths.

Good idea! I think I would also benefit from making one. This one goes high on the to do list!
