The "Hard Stop"!!!!! I was wondering the same thing a few months ago when working with an SL20. I never heard of one before either.
Greg, I think you have something there. Hope the HAAS Apps guys chime in tell us what the hell this is.
I too do not think a 5C Stop is going to hurt anything. Being that I was working with 42" 40mm Shafts I was using a Bar Stop in on of the ID Holder Blocks. It made it possible to hold +-.005 on the OAL.
