Regal Rotary Vise

I am playing with the idea of getting a Regal Rotary Vise. Does anyone use this vise and what are opinions about this vise? Thanks for your input, Pop

pop - I collect vises and have 13 in the collection. I have 3 more that I use - one is a travel and the other two are in two different tye areas. I have been using Regal vises since the mid 80s. My favorite is the stainless steel version with the off set handle.
I got Faby the SS model (because of the handle) when she was 12 - she wanted to use mine but had a heck of time opening the jaws. Liked hers so I got one.
For me they are just to easy to use. Open the jaws, place your hook, and start tying.
I think the cost is reasonable - it's an investment. Tyed a bunch of fish catching jigs off of the ones I own - figure the vise was instrumental. I put a lot of torque on my jigs and never had a jig slip.

Have several too.Have the Regal Rotary vise.Love it.

Never tied on one so have no opinion really. There are a lot of good vises and each has things about it that makes it better or not for each individual.

So I am sorry, but of no real help on this.

Thanks for the replies. Pop

I’ve handled a bunch and don’t remember having used one, so I’m of no help either. Have fun with which ever one you buy.

They look nice. Would like to try a regal to see how the spring loaded jaws hold. Right now I tie with a peak fixed and have a peak rotary on it's way to me. Should have gotten the rotary to start with but was trying to save a few bucks. With what I have invested in tools, feathers, marabou, thread , wire, this and that, I bet my jigs cost about $8.00 each, but I still enjoy making them. I like making different color patterns and enjoy giving them to friends.

Rockhitter, I have a Regal now (not rotary) and I will tell you the jaws are great. That is the reason I am considering the Regal rotary. No adjusting like other rotary vises. I can use the same base for the rotary as my current Regal, a savings of at least 125.00. Pop

I have one and I love it .

I have a Regal. Not the rotary, though. Love mine.

The greatest advantage to any Regal vise, in my opinion, is its ease in placing your hook within its jaws securely. Its hold is rock solid.

I use a Regal, that was machined during the late 1970s or early 1980s, when traveling. Though, it's not light in weight for its construction, it's easy to move, attach to a table, and tie with.

I doubt I'll ever replace it as my traveling vise. A little sentimentality exists, as it was my Father's vise at one time.

A great piece of tying equipment, regardless.

Had one for many years it is the best but expensive I tied Millie’s Bucktails and Hook-up Lures with mine and we are talking sometimes a 100 a nite so buy one you won’t regret it.
