Warco Saddle Stop

[Frank S]

Most of the stop blocks I have used or encountered clamped like I have shown in the drawing picture

The basic block is milled to fit the way the clamp has a raised fulcrum to connect to the block held in place by a simple bolt from underneath
Some blocks will have the thread in the clamp and the bolt passing from the top .
the clamp will extend as far as required under the bottom of the way. usually depending on the size of the lathe it could be a little as .250" or as much as an inch or more.
