- the diagonal slots allow for finer variations.

Japan Woodworker has one.
http://www.japanwoodworker.com/product.asp?s=JapanWoodworker&pf_id=01.117.3&dept_id=13085
If the URL doesn't work, search for "depth stop" on the site.
It's easy enough to make one. It can be as simple as a piece of wood
clamped to the side of the blade. One could even drill 2 holes in the saw
blade and attach a piece of wood with vertical slots aligned with the holes
and make an adjustable one.

Veritas has these:
http://www.veritastools.com/products/Page.aspx?p=171
and http://www.veritastools.com/Products/Page.aspx?p=170
Not exactly what you're looking for though.
Also came across this, which appears to be a bit closer to what you
want:

That's pretty close - thanks.
Was wondering if any of them have a digital readout. :D
Woodn't a woulden clothes pin work? A double thickness of electrical tape
might serve as a tactile landmark.
