Does this make any sense to you rotary tyers?
The shank of the hook needs to be in line with the center of the rotating axle of the vise. Sometimes this requires moving the jaws up or down in one of the three adjusting holes of the jaws. If the shank is not in the same plane as the axle centerline, the fly will be off center when rotating. Check the instructions that came with your vise (if you have them). I looked on the renzetti website, but did not see any online instructions.
