I made this vise mounted stop yesterday and the table stop today.
I made the vise mount base so the rod is centered and extended 1" or both sides. The adjustment is tool free.
If I dial in the center of the bar, I can locate a feature at the center as well which means I can put the arm on the other end and flip the part to mirror a feature on the opposite side of the part.
I like that I don't have to uncover the table to use the stop.
I decided to make a simple table stop because I've done lots of longer stuff where the part is sticking way off the vise. I wanted a super simple design with material I had on hand.
The clamp rod is 8". As wide as my table with 2 holes corresponding to the outer table slots. In the pictures the position required the cap screw is inside the tube. The tube came from the pipe in the vise. Lol.
