One other little tid-bit, my "S" stop has a metric (8 mm - .315") hold
down screw. What I did was put coil spring around the screw between
the base of the stop and the T-nut. It pushes the T-nut away from the
base and makes it easier to slide in the T-slots in the mill table.
Plus it helps keep debris from getting between the base and the body of
the stop.
