I created this because I was not satisfied with the ones that are otherwise available. They do not need to be square, have sharp edges or have so many teeth they wrap around the gear so they have to be slipped in from the side. They also do not need to be the thickness of the gear. I have personally used this to hold a chuck and break it chuck free with an impact gun. It held up fine. These fit 10" and 12" Atlas and Sears Craftsman lathes. It is designed to remove stuck chucks but I also use it to remove and install chucks without using back gears at all.

Thanks This design allows you to easily hold the stop while tightening and removing and keeps your hand and fingers away from the gear teeth. But it still also serves the function of locking the spindle tight to remove those really stuck chucks. The stop is easy to take off and on and holds 12 solid teeth which is plenty. If you have not seen modern 3D printed you will be amazed at the strength that these parts can have if printed and designed correctly. But the point of these is that they are weaker than your expensive gears but still strong enough to withstand some torque. I have personally experimented with the different printing strengths and these have just the right strength for the job. 30 Day Money Back Guarantee Other colors may be available by request. Please note that these are 3D printed and as such may have slight variations in surface finish than those pictured. Also fonts are subject to change. Although these are designed to break before metal gears, Please use them responsibly and at your own risk. Due to the age of these machines and the quality of the metal used in the gears, I will not be responsible for any damage caused by the use of these stops. I will say though that I used one on a chuck that was so stuck I had to use an impact wrench to get it off and it came off with no damage. **** Pictures are part of the description please look at them closely and if you have questions or need more pics, let me know. **** I have shipped hundreds of fragile items without a crack, all my items are over-packed and insured for a safe trip.
