UNIQUE REPEATABLE ADJUSTABLE CHAMFER STOP
Following on from the precision solid stop milling vise square, this unique 45 degree setting tool makes light work of machining repeatable, accurate & fast chamfers.
Having the end stop on the stock prevents the whole unit from slipping along the vise when pressure is applied downwards on the part. This allows holding the part solid & accurately on the blade against the adjustable blade stop with just one hand. Then the other free hand can tighten the vise.
The video also highlights the benefits of having a rotating end stop that holds the X datum in position & the speed advantages of using various thickness quill stop spacers.
For an unusual approach to milling chamfers on a diameter see:

or on a CNC... • Big chamfer - big tool... This shows a 127mm diameter chamfer formed with only a 12mm radius toolpath!!
Beautiful tool and a great idea. I wish I had your skills. These videos are a real inspiration, thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work!
Thoughtful designs for the chamfer stop and square. Beautiful work as always.
excellent 👍
The only machinist on youtube who has the guts (?!) to power tap!
M3 in tool steel was a bit butt clenching. Does anyone use hand taps nowadays?🤔
Nice machine work! I am assuming the Bridgeport is CNC?

You've got a really beautiful finish, what alloy of steel are you using if I may ask?
The blade is ground flat stock & the bar is bright mild steel.
