Abstract
A portable workpiece stopping device, attachable to a work surface relative to a primary tool, permitting a repetitive same-length operation to be performed on any number of workpieces, and which allows for interruption of the operation without affecting the essential positioning of the stopping device relative to the primary tool. The stopping device comprises a base plate selectively attachable to a work surface, a rotation plate rotatably coupled to the base plate, an alignment plate adjustably coupled to the rotation plate, a stop plate fixedly coupled to the alignment plate, and a support shelf adjustably coupled to the stop plate. The stopping device can be selectively transitioned from an obstructing position, which blocks the end of a workpiece pressed against the stop plate, thereby allowing the repetitive same-length operation to be performed, to a non-obstructing position which provides for unfettered positioning of any workpiece relative to the primary tool.
