why oh why must i get another vise....I love the vises i have. They work perfectly. ...but...but...but....I ordered another vise today and sold my pistol to do it. My wife says she hopes the vise is heavy enough to kill an intruder. I told her the jaws are strong enough to hold him till i get a good thread neck around him till the cops show up... she says im getting soft.
wow, you must be stepping up in a big way, if you had to sell your pistola to fund the vise. what did you end up purchasing?
nor vise.....I tie allot of saltWater patterns and love the dubbing brush feature. I love all my vises but for saltwater production i broke down and got one.....i tie daily and shot the gun in 2years....it was a trade up.
those look like nice vises.....
Your gonna love that Nor Vise and one thing that makes it even better is all the conversions he has. Maybe you should have called me before you ordered, but if you want any help after you get it just let me know. I have 2 of them and one still new. I have every conversion he has I think, but what I started doing is with most of the jaws I use the heavier rear hub from the large jaws on all of them and not what came with them. Like the fine point has that little are that stands out from the hub and I didn't like that so just started using the heavy hub even when using the fine point as it's heavy enough to handle the fine point. The fine point is set up like a regular vise to have access to tails better and to spin it is a bit more than the other jaws, but the hub on the large jaws is enough to do that very well.
I just got the tube fly conversion, but have not had time to try it out which is something I want to do really bad. I just think so many things can be done with that style that is so different, it's just my kind of thing.
It takes a bit getting use to the regular jaws and the large jaws because they are straight and not like a regular vise at all, but once you do the love affair will begin, LOL!

I have been tying on the roto vise Which also has strait jaws so I got a jump on the strait jaw thing... I thought the same thing about the heavy hub.. I wish the small in line jaws came with it. It comes in Saturday. I can't wait.
Just pick up conversions as you can. Don't need them all at one time, but I feel sure you probably will add to this vise. Norm is a really nice guy and I have spoke with him a good many time. If you ever have a problem with you vise he will be a stand up guy and do what's right.Quote:

Congrats on getting that vise!
