   I have two saddle stops for my lathe . One has a threaded rod , the   
   other has a dial indicator . I usually use the dial indicator to figure   
   out where to set the hard stop .

   I touch the bit against the end of the work and set the micrometer carriage   
   stop against a block or rod of or near the size of the shoulder length I   
   want to turn. The bulk of the carriage and slide prevent using caliper jaws.   
      
   I just realized that a ball or T shaped bore gauge set with a micrometer   
   might serve to locate the stop.
