Also known as spring stop buttons, they feature an enclosed spring that&#8217;s designed to press against the side of a workpiece. You can use a spring stop on any flat and even side of a workpiece. As the enclosed spring presses against it, the workpiece will remain stationary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Spring Stops?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring stops are spring-loaded devices with a flat, mountable base. They serve the same purpose as other workholding solutions by holding workpieces in place. Rather than using a clamp, you can use a spring stop to hold a workpiece in place. The spring stop will press against the side of the workpiece to ensure that it doesn&#8217;t move while being worked on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see an example of a spring stop in the image above. The depicted spring stop features a flat base with a hollow tube in the middle. A spring runs through the hollow tube, and the spring is affixed with a button on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Using Spring Stops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are other workholding solutions available, spring stops offer several benefits. They are easy to use, for instance. To use a spring stop, you just need to mount it. Spring stops feature a flat base that can be mounted to a workbench or similar surface. You can mount a spring stop by driving threaded fasteners through the base and into the underlying surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rust isn&#8217;t a concern with spring stops. Assuming you choose spring stops in the right type of material, you don&#8217;t have to worry about it rusting when exposed to moisture. Spring stops are available in rust-resistant materials like aluminum. Aluminum spring stops are lightweight, strong and resistant to rust. You can find spring stops in other materials, but these properties make aluminum a great all-around choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring stops are also smaller than many other workholding solutions. Granted, you can find them in different sizes. Some of them have a longer and\/or wider base than others. Regardless, spring stops are generally small and compact. They won&#8217;t consume a lot of space on a workbench, making them preferable over other workholding solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring stops are workholding solutions that leverage an enclosed spring to hold workpieces in place. They have a flat base with a hollow tube in the middle that contains a spring. After being mounted, spring stops will press against workpieces to prevent them from moving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When shopping for workholding solutions, you may come across spring stops.
