I've never found a need to soak biots in any way but I do reinforce them as I tie. I use the tying thread to chase the biot as you wrap forward , overlapping each wind of biot with a thread wrap. ...

Yes, the entire head/crank assembly spins within the collar on the upright. And, it spins smoother than any vise I've ever seen - just give it a flick and it wants to go forever. When it...

My understanding is that it will be similar to the image you posted. I only saw a prototype and this was a modification that they were planning before releasing the vise so I can only...

Yes, the new vise is Regal's entry into the true rotary market. I've seen a prototype but have not had a chance to tie on it. Same hook holding capability as in the traditional Regal vises but this...

Saw a bumper sticker the other day...

How about getting a chair that adjusts heights through the range you're considering tying from?

Personally, I like the vise to be positioned so that the hook is a little below shoulder level. If...

The Housatonic River in MA or CT is not that far. You could even get to the Farmington in CT.
