flyfishing99 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2012 Here is my Dyna-King Sidewinder, a small travel vise, and the head of my H L Leonard vise. The Leonard vise was sold in the 1970s, and I somehow lost the stem. I have since built a new stem from a piece of 1/4 inch all thread and a couple of wing nuts. Have you had trouble with the tension control for rotary? I sent mine back once and again, the tension screw doesn't tighten appropriately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toirtis 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2012 Thanks guys. Pete, I am all too familiar with the JVise...I am saving up for one right now, and a photo of one has been my computer background for months. I see you have the damascene steel jaw-set...something that I will likely never have, alas. The LAW is wonderful, too...I recently got to touch #3.

Crotalus 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2012 I was watching Enrico Puglisi tie flies at the Lancaster show this past weekend. I noticed that he had a unique vise, sorta like a Regal but different. Finally got around to looking it up. It is called a GME vise and appears that his website is the only place to buy them. If only I had a spare grand sitting around... http://epflies.com/index.php/new/components/ep-vice.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daijones 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2012 Have used a number of vise's, and i have a few as well Love my Dyna-king Barracuda, and thought in was the best. But above is a photo of my LAW, and don't think there is another on the market to touch it. Happy tying guys, Dai. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you had trouble with the tension control for rotary? I sent mine back once and again, the tension screw doesn't tighten appropriately. I rarely use the Sidewinder for tying anymore, but I don't remember ever having any problems with the rotary tension control. I did have to get a new forcing cone, but the damage to the origional cone was done by the previous owner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
utyer 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2012 So far no body has posted any pictures of the Nor-Vise, so I will post mine. This is the vise I use all the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
