=================================================================

This is the first project on my 8" Logan shaper.  It's a carriage stop 
for my Delta 11" X 24" lathe.  I just made a block to fit the lathe 
ways, with a counterbored hole for a 1/4"x20 tpi clamp bolt, a clamp 
block with dowel alignment hole, and 3/8" hole with setscrew to take 
either a micrometer head or dial indicator.

The photos are:

One problem with the design is that I can't operate the clamp bolt with 
the stop under the headstock, which might be handy for close work in a 
collet.  I may make a similar design with a hinged clamp block actuated 
by a horizontal setscrew or bolt.
