About 20 years ago, a couple guys were asking for "pre-orders" of a vise they were developing called the "Hornet". The vise was a bit like a sewing machine, in that it was to have a foot pedal to control the speed of the rotary action. 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.........
