flyfishing99 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2011 I have one I would sell Byron Well what us the condition? Do you have photos? How much? 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............. Hardly used. Would have to get 400 I'd love to see a picture of that Pamola fly lathe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

salmobytes 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2011 Can this thing (Pamola lathe) be spun rapidly, like a Norr or a Regal Revolution? Or is it a slow hand-crank deal only? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyfishing99 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2011 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
utyer 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2011 I wonder, if the Paloma is so much more "real" and "substantial," then why is it no longer made, and the Nor-vise IS? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyfishing99 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2011 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petelangevin 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2011 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
