Machine vise stop device

A stop device for positioning a work material held by a machine vise comprising:

• an L-shaped mounting bracket secured to a machine vise by a mounting bracket screw;
• an elongated stop arm having a first end, a second end and an elongated slot extended within the stop arm with the elongated slot running in a parallel direction to a length of the stop arm;
• a pivot clamp and pivot clamp screw connected to the elongated slot, the pivot clamp attaching the elongated stop arm to the L-shaped mounting bracket along a length side of the machine vise, the elongated stop arm slidaby moveable in both an X and Y direction while also being lockable to a specific position by the pivot clamp;
• a fixed jaw located at the second end of the stop arm in a fixed condition;
• and a stop clamp attached to the second end of the stop arm by a dual-purpose stop clamp screw, the stop clamp including an adjustable jaw facing the fixed jaw of the stop arm, the dual-purpose stop clamp screw enabling changes to a distance between the jaws through the displacement of the entire of the stop clamp with respect to the fixed jaw to allow the jaws to hold and support a portion of a stop rod having varying shapes and sizes in a fixed, deform-free condition therebetween while also allowing a top-loading of the stop rod to the jaws and a top removal of the stop rod from the jaws, the dual-purpose stop clamp screw extending into the second end of the stop arm in a direction parallel to the length of the stop arm.
