Thread: Found a few vises today

Ideas already popping from you folks. Question I now have why has this not happened before. Makes me wonder if it is just vices are very good now and motorizing them woud just make it more expensive to do the same thing we have.

Disclaimer. The above video is an April Fool's joke someone had posted to a fly tying page

And here I was getting ready to convert my Kobalt drill to a vise.

I would spend more time unwinding than I would every spend making good jigs. I used a sewing machine motor and pedal to make a case trimmer for reloading years ago. It worked pretty well.

I did the same with a forrester, surface ground a hex on cutter side and used an electric drill fast and easy

Reason I did it with the sewing machine motor is I could turn it on with my foot and very the speed as needed. At the time I was shooting a lot of ammo in practice and competitions.

So which one of you folks are going to run with this and become the next Amazon.
