What Did You Buy Today?

Hope you didn't throw away the box. My work stop was well hidden in the box. It's small and easy to miss. Look in the crevices of the cardboard. Can't say that the work stop is super duper, but it's functional. Check again in the packing materials in the box.

I have the box so will look again....
 
If I recall correctly, I cut the thin metal roughly in thirds. Stuck the short piece in from the back side, it's useful for small stuff. Long piece goes into the front. At times the chip shield is a pia. But it mostly keeps chips off the screw. I keep a small iron disc on the front side of the vise, to keep from accidentally tipping over the the thin shield. Better than magnetizing the vise.

That came out great! You seem to have found matching paint. Can you share paint brand and color used?

And yes, that thin metal plate cover, I can’t figure out it’s purpose… it does not slide under so unless you cut it to a specific size for a specific use, it is kind of worthless…

I got mine at Menard's. $3.99 I think it was -11%

Here you go. I have a DX4, but would imagine it is the same for a DX6.

You guys get all excited with your new big toys, you forget to look through the whole box! It's well hidden in a crevice in the packing cardboard. Should still be there. @wachuko, what you have already is fine. This little guy has some utility if used carefully, but I am sure there are nicer ones out there that are a bit more rigid. It is handy at times when you don't want to crowd your table. The side view part at 2.6" is the section that fits in the jaw slot. The screw expands the wedge, holding it in place.

Too darn neat, I tell you! Ahem, I still have my Kurt box. Don't know why, really. Should have thrown it out long ago. Probably kept it since it was a sturdy box.

Honestly, the work stop isn't that great. You don't need to go off and get one. Might be fun to try to make one though.
 
Thanks for the photo WobblyHand. I have been trying to figure out how the clamp worked in that 3/16 inch groove. Now I know
so can make one. I looked over the shipping very carefully and it is not there, pretty sure as I went over it twice.
