Who makes the best vise that will rotary 360 degrees, but is a straight vise and does not have the deep "V" feature?
ANY help is appreciated.

The vises with the "deep V" are called offset rotary vises.
Vises which are rotary, but not "offset rotary" are called "in-line" rotary.
Nor vise has its original jaw system which was/is in-line rotary. It is, however, probably first, and foremost, for spinning.
Regal Engineering now carries a well-made in-line rotary vise called the "Revolution"
Out of curiosity, why do you not want an offset rotary?
I have motorized my Danvise. LOVE IT. Thinking no offset....cleaner, succinct as it rotates, and easier to find the centerline of the axis for true level spinning of the hook shank.
Thank you for the reply Byron.
I have had three quality Fly Tying vises over the years.
1. Regal
2. DynaKing Barracuda
3. Nor-Vise
By FAR, my favorite is the Nor-Vise. Very well made, easy to use, (especially with the Nor-Vise bobbins) and excellent service. I would not trade my Nor-Vise for any other vise period. It's a vise that I will hand down to my grandchildren.

J-Vice has a smooth J-curve (hence the name) rather than a V notch. Doesn't sound like your issue is with room for your hand, but that's my favorite feature of the J.
Walter, I too love my Jvice.
But, I think he is talking about in-line rotary as opposed to any type of offset-rotary.
Whitewolf, correct me if I misunderstood your question.
Why in God's name do you want or need a motorized vice??Quote:

The idea was to manufacture a vise for quick production tying.......somewhat like the Norvise, except that it would be motorized with a foot pedal controlling the speed.........
You got it right Byron. I am pretty pleased with it....since I have had both rotator cuff re-builds....not too good at movement. It is soooo sweet. I can still use it manually. It is variable speed....reversible direction, and controlled with either the adjusting knob....or the footr pedal. Foot pedal will stay where I push it to...or can go all way dowqn for max speed...or down with the heel and go to off or minimum speed. I am liking it enough already..... I think I will forget about the inline axis idea.
Thanks for the replies.
Jim, I always found that the Danvise was the best of all at keeping the "axis of the hook", for want of a better term, better than the Renzetti by far. I never did understand the ads that said it kept your hook on the same axis all the way around. so sounds like you have the best of both worlds.
