Earlier this year I bought a wonderful PM1150A from Wayne in Mocksville but it was missing a depth stop. I hadn't really needed one until last weekend when I started the joinery on my bench.
When I first got the press Bob Vaughn was nice enough to give me lots of advice on my questions. I finally took his advise and made a simple shop made depth stop. I used some cheap threaded rod I had lying around and ground some flats on it with a bench grinder and a file.
Two nuts to hold the rod in place and two nuts on the top to serve as the stop:
Since then I have given it a good workout. It adjusts quickly and it hasn't slipped yet but I do plan on fully following Bob's instructions and getting some sort of bushing to put between the two nuts.
Thanks again Bob!
