Good point Rick.
Your PDF is a good explanation.
I have used stops for hundreds of jobs over the years.

They are especially useful if you have to use an unskilled person for production.
When we built our deck 10 years ago, we had to pre-drill 150 pickets on both ends. It was a simple matter to clamp 2 pieces of wood to form an "L" on the drill press table. I just had my wife hold the picket into the corner of the L, and punch a 3/16" hole through each end. She drilled about 300 holes, all perfectly centered. The motor on my cheap drill press was too hot to touch!

When I was a trainee in the early 70's, I was running a large radial drill press. We used stops for everything since it was a production shop, requiring many parts, all alike.
