There is currently a 78 fence rod for sale on ebay, £10.00 Buy it now

Thanks for the alert Rob, but I already have the fence complete with rod and screw. If I had needed the rod I would have made it - it's a fairly simple piece, just a 3" length of 9/32" with a 1/4" x 28 (presumably UNF) thread on one end and a cross drilled hole near the other. It's interesting though - at first I thought £10 for such a simple piece was a bit steep, but I suppose it would take me 20 mins per piece on a manual lathe even if I had everything set up. So not such a crazy price.

Martin has very kindly offered me a sample of his 3-D printed stop for evaluation. In the meantime I single-pointed a #10 x 28 brass screw:

It fits perfectly.

Thanks to all for your help with this.

Robin

I am now the proud owner of a depth stop in Ferrari? red:

I'm impressed by the accuracy of the part - I didn't realise that 3-D printing could do that.

Thanks Martin, I've emailed you.

Robin.
