That old vice is cool
Wonder if they were made primarily for fly tying shops to speed up production?
I would love to see that old vise in action. With that big wheel should really spin it fast.

Vice in action
Thanks for video. That vise is super cool. :highfive
It would probably have a learning curve
Jeez, that thing is a BEAST! Maybe it was used for production tying.

That would be my thoughts on that rotary
Neat old vice but my mechanical head is thinking about how I could hook that to a trettle sewing machine table so I could use my foot and free up my hands. Be a cool project. Heck maybe a variable speed motor with foot control.
Thats an interesting idea. I have a motor and foot control off of a jewelers lathe. when I get time I'll see what can be done. the other thing this press has index stops on upper pulley so hook can be indexed and locked into position and a forward reverse lock so it will only spin in direction you want.. pretty inovative for the time. I think George Herter really hit this one out of the park...
