Depth Stop Upgrade For The Milling Machine (Quill Stop) @artisanmakes

Uploaded April 2022 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

G'day everyone,

In this video I will be making a depth stop for the milling machine. A depth stop is a very useful tool on a drill press which enables you to easily drill holes to a repeatable depth. They are found on most drill press machines, but aren't as common on milling machines with quills. In this video I will make a simple depth stop upgrade.
