This auction is for 1 Standard 6" Billet aluminum Machined vise stop. (DIMENSIONS FOR FITMENT) This vise is designed to mount onto the back of a 6" standard vise. This means brands like KURT, GLACERN, and any other standard 6" vise with 3.875" spacing from center to center of holes, and uses a 1/2-13 thread. (MATERIALS) This is a Billet 6061-T6511 aluminum machined standard 6" vise stop. After looking around on the internet and using some of this vise stops that I found online I was a bit disappointed in the design of the stops and their ease of use. I sought out to design a more robust accurate and reliable stop for my own setups and this is the result! (ACCURACY) These stops are made to tight tolerances, and have a nice Machined finish look, the screws used in the design are SHCS (socket head cap screws) and I chose to go this route because with other models the small set screw means the circumference (distance around the screw) is less than that of a larger thread, I also went with a fine thread instead of a course one to get get more thread engagement and this also means you get more torque with less effort making adjustments easier and less strenuous. The other reason I chose to go with a socket head cap screw is if you have a machine shop with "not the most skilled operators" they tend to use whatever Allen wrench they can find to fit the screw and use that, this can often lead to stripped out screws. If this happens the screw is much easier to get out and replace on my design: very inexpensive by use of vise grips, rather than having to drill out the lodged set screw which also risks damaging the internal threads and rendering the stop useless. (DOMED/POLISHED SCREW TIPS) The tips of the screws have been ground down and domed over with a polish finish to nearly eliminate gouging that is so often seen on other designs. This can even lead to preventing the clamp from sliding on the arm where as my design does not do this. Even plastic inserted set screws will flatten and mushroom ultimately leading to gouging from the set screws steel right into the arm. The larger SHCS screws I use means it has a larger surface area when contacting the arm and prevents against gouging. The socket head design also being of a larger size and a socket head versus a set screw uses a larger Allen wrench so this means you have more grip on the screw as you tighten due to more surface contact, it also means the socket head screw "CAP" itself has much thicker walls than a small set screw and can take much more abuse. (CLAMP DESIGN) The clamp design unlike others will not bend or change shape as you tighten. Other designs do not go all the way around the arm mainly because it takes them longer to machine, and because of this the clamp spreads apart as you tighten. This makes it difficult to accurately set a distance on the stop. My design goes all the way around the arm, its also more rigid, and will not move when accidentally bumped. (SLIDE BAR) The stop slide bar is made of stainless steel construction and resists against corrosion and rusting. This will ensure a long lasting life of the rod. Length of the rod is set at 7 inches, vise jaws are 6 inches wide so this will always give you some room to hold onto the vise sliding stop as your adjusting it. (AMBIDEXTROUS USE) This stop is designed to be used on either the left or right side of the vise. All you have to do is flip the "back arm" that is bolted to the back side of the vise to the opposite side, then flip over the "Sliding Clamp" on the arm, and move the clamp SHCS to the opposite side of the clamp (its threaded on both sides of the clamp to allows for this) and you're done. (LOW PROFILE DESIGN) The Sliding Clamp is also made to be a low profile design so when you bring a 3 inch face mill down to face off a part that is really thin say.150" thick or less, you don't have to worry about nicking or hitting the vise stop because the entire stop sits below the surface of the jaws, the highest point is the sliding bar which is the only thing that should be sitting up high enough to contact the part anyway. All the SHCS's in my design are at ideal lengths and as short as possible to allow for clearances and yet still be a slim design. (EASE OF USE) To adjust any of the SHCS's it's very user friendly. Everything is easy to get at, other brands have small set screws mounted on the bottom side of the sliding clamp which are hard to if not impossible to get at some times without moving your setup. My design faces right towards you! This makes it very easy to get at and is a breeze to adjust. (VICE SPACING) Due to the slim design you can literally mount each 6 inch vise right next to each other. My vises on my HAAS VF-3 are so close that they actually touch each other. I can actually mount 5 vises on the table of my VF-3, whereas I could normally only get a max of 4 with other brands. This is a huge help! Additionally when you have stops like this so close together you can actually use one bar for 2 work shift offsets! So one stop can act as 2! This allows for more work shifts, less tool changes, less cycle time and more money in your pocket! I stand by all my Designs and as you can see there has been a lot of thought that has been put into the design and development of these stops.
