Mill: Table Stops

The X2 large table has a slot cut in the front for table stops. To make them I took M6 coupling nuts and milled 5mm on the end down to 6mm wide, then I cut 11mm of the couple nut. This gave me an easy little T-nut to use. I then used M6 Allen bolts with a spacer to mount them on the table.

M6 coupling nut, T-nut, and M6 Allen bolt with spacer.


The table's base has two M4 holes to mount the stop. I milled one from 2.5mm aluminum plate and mounted it up.

I now move the table where I want it, move the stop until it touches, and then I can repeat to about 0.001".
