Pamola fly lathe

[petelangevin 0]

I remember seeing this being demonstrated at the fly show in the early 2000s. Anyone familiar with them? Been watching one on the big auction site. Just curious About any thoughts.

For $500 on the ebay right now I would think u could find something better. It doesn't look all that great to me. Just my opinion

ive seen them many years ago but never actually used one so i couldnt give you an opinion one way or another, if you are a collector, then by all means keep watching and place your bid.

It was pricey back then. I went with a norvise and it does what i need it to do.

Will have to dig it out. Has been stored for about 7 years and haven't used it for about 10 years or more. Only tied a dozen or so flies with it. It was a beautifully built device.............

Can this thing (Pamola lathe) be spun rapidly, like a Norr or a Regal Revolution?

Or is it a slow hand-crank deal only?

It is a "real" vise with "real" jaws. Does not spin like the Norvise. I have owned both, the Pamola is much more substantial and a real craftsman build

I wonder, if the Paloma is so much more "real" and "substantial," then why is it no longer made, and the Nor-vise IS?

It never was mass produced and was quite pricey. That is my recollection.

The man who was making the pamola lathe was older. Perhaps he retired. Maybe someone could start making these again. I am sure the design plans could be obtained if he is still alive. It was made before its time.
