Mill depth stop improvement

[Toolmaker51]

Hi Marv
Have ever seen a quick stop for a round column mill? I have a Grizzly G1007
and the depth stop is very inconvenient.
Thanks

Is adjustment regulated by hex nuts appearing below slot and marker on front of spindle housing? Yup, that's pretty stinking inconvenient. A guess tells me conversion/ modification is possible.

Our substantial round column drill press has a sliding clamp combined with the marker. A small threaded lever secures it to the rod and stops when it bottoms out on housing. Same rod is slotted, if I made one, a brass tipped screw would set on a full length flat.
