Instead of simple wood block and a clamp, I made a bit complex
stopper with fine adjustable capability.
As turning the knob, the center bolt push/pull the wood block.
Two pull springs are used to kill the play of the bolt and two pistons work
as the guide to keep the block flush.
Adjustable range is about 20mm.
Guess what,,,, This project is over kill.
A simple bolt and a nut with a block may work as good as this one.

55, Very impressive but I must be a little dense. I’ve been staring at your pics for ten minutes nowm and I’ll be darned if I can figure out it’s intended use. Please enlighten me.

I am going to guess: it is used as an adjustable stop so you can make repetitive cuts. But then again, what do I know?

Overkill is the way to go. Although from time to time cheap is enough :p

I think it’s really clever. Lock it in close to your stop position, then micro-adjust to final fit. I’m a “coarse” woodworker, so I’m satisfied just to admire it, however you precision freaks need to add this to your arsenal. Just think of all the 0.000001 inches you’re missing manually setting your stop blocks :) Awesome build, brother.
