Shopbuilt - lift stop Positioner

Рет қаралды 30,150

Күн бұрын

I'm very proud to introduce you to my lift stop positioner. It features a stainless steel barrel that glides along a 5/16" t-track allowing the positioner to stay perpendicular to the track at all times. The barrel can easily be locked at any position along the T-track by simply tightening the included 5/16" star knob and T-bolt. The stop arm is made from 3/8" thick 6061 aluminum (aircraft grade) that is cut out on a water jet right here in New Brunswick Canada. The stop arm is fastened to the the barrel with a stainless steel nylon locking nut that allows you to swing the arm easily but yet tight enough to remove any play. The stop arm has been powder coated to give a very durable finish and a cool look. Finally I added a flat head screw as a slight light/cursor for use with an adhesive backed measuring tape (not included). The cursor can be zeroed and locked into place with a set screw. This positioner is almost entirely made in my shop and is great way to support the shopbuilt youtube channel!

How does this compare to other flip stops like the ones from Rockler or Kreg? What makes yours better? I don't mean that in a bad way. Just give us a sales pitch. Why buy the shopbuilt for $40 when I can get a similar one from Rockler for just $17?

@Shopbuilt 7 жыл бұрын

+William Butler first I like people to know they are not just buying a flip stop, they are helping to support the shopbuilt KZfaq channel. Secondly I feel you are getting way more quality than the rockler one with the stainless steel barrel/ hardware and thick aluminum arm. Thirdly, this is not mass produced in China, or made from extruded aluminum where they only have to cut the parts to length, it's hand built and produced in my home town. The kreg unit does seem to be a decent unit but unfortunately someone like my can't compete with a big brand like that on cost. The rockler unit looks like you'll get what you pay for. I hope that helps Thank you for the consideration:)

My first thought was that I could make one of these myself with the tools I have. Then I realized two things. One is that I probably wouldn't get to it for a while and I'd really like to have one of these. The other part, is the time and effort you put into this Ryan. I think you have a real solid product here and in addition to your great channel content, you have been willing to bring us along for the design process and you deserve my support. I just placed my order.

Because of the round base block it should work if you swap out the 5/16" bolt for a 1/4-20.

This is awesome, it's great to see someone starting a little business like this where you are building and selling something you designed yourself. To generate further sales you should check out a new video sharing app called Peeks Social. It's more about live streaming although you can still upload videos, but the difference is viewers can throw real money your way as tips to give thanks. Bigger yet though, soon they are adding the ability to sell products right from a video stream without ever having to leave for another website to make the purchase. Check it out sometime, it's new but has some potential and is pretty neat I think. Anyways keep up the good work and good luck with sales!

I ordered one of these right after they became available and finally have it. It had to come in sort of a long route. I live in Mexico and volunteer at a school designed to teach carpentry to young Mexicans. I knew I was going to Chicago for a woodworking class so I had it sent to a friend who would send it to me while I was there. I just returned yesterday and can't wait to take it to the school and figure out ho to adapt to the radial arm saw that gets use constantly. Love the design and quality. Thanks.

Going on my wishlist now, thanks for videos.One question, I recently picked up one of the Ridgid R4512 table saws and find the fence to be lacking (first one had a y-axis bow, second one will not stay parallel to miter slot). Can you do a vid or send message detailing what you did to your fence to create a repeatably flat and parallel face?Thanks again!

@Shopbuilt 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks! To be honest, i didn't have any issues with the fence.

@ryantaylor6831 7 жыл бұрын

I have the Craftsman saw very similar to the Ridgid. I had a lot of trouble with the fence too and ended up replacing it with the Vega Pro 50. I absolutely love it! It was worth the money to upgrade. It improved my accuracy and ease of setup significantly.

Ryan, start a Patreon site and I'll gladly give you a few bucks as I love your content. I would love to buy one or more of these stops but the shipping kills it. No way am I going to pay more than twice as much to get this to a Canadian address than it costs for the US.

+Graham Howe I understand, I talked to Canada Post and they don't offer a "no frills" shipping option like the US does. I going to talk to some other carriers to see if I can get a better rate. Worst case I'll set up a flat rate for Canadians. Shipping in Canada sucks!

@SuperBardley 7 жыл бұрын

Miter saw size and accuracy are limited

@Shopbuilt 7 жыл бұрын

because mitre saws are constructed with a large over hung arm, there can be a lot of flex when "chopping" through the workpiece creating a possibility of inaccuracy. some chop saws are better than other. With a table, you push the workplace through the blade which limits the possibility of flex or wobble in the blade. it also with give you a cleaner cut.
