Re: [VFB] Re: Mayfly Vise
Hi Don, I don't know, how it behaves with your shark-hooksG. I mounted a TMC811S in sz. 3/0 into the vise, and the hook bend before the hook moves in the jaws.I bend the hook by appr. 2 - 3 mm at the eye, much more than by my regular tying. I agree with Joyce, a cam-lever would be an improvement, but this would result in a total different vise at much higher price. So we cannot compare the Renzetti with this tool. My bottom line is, that this vise was designed by someone who ties and it fits well to my needs. Compared to other vises in this price range, it is great.

RE: [VFB] Re: Mayfly Vise
I have an early Renzetti Traveler vise with similar jaws to the Mayfly vise and have never felt the need to replace the screw tighten style of jaw with the cam operated version because the screw version works so well. I do agree however that with athritis a cam operated jaw would be advantageous. I also have an early Dyna-King Voyageur with the cam operated push jaws which I use for my travel vise. It is small and lightweight but the delrin base is too light and it tends to move around a bit when tying. Neville (Nev) Gosling Greater Vancouver, B.C. Canada _ From: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com [mailto:vfb-m...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Joyce Westphal Sent: April 9, 2010 4:21 PM To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [VFB] Re: Mayfly Vise My take on the Mayfly vise. I find that it is smooth, but as the hook holding assembly does not have a cam it would never be a go to vise as is. If I were designing this vise, the handle would be a bit longer so it would be easier to rotate and it would come with a simple cam type mechanism. That being said, the vise is surely well designed. I especially like the arm..it has a subtle downward bend that makes it for very nice hand rest and easy tying. And, the good thing, you can easily turn a Renzetti cam head into a lefty head, then put it on the Mayfly vise and tie right handed with this now a cam head . It was good planning that allowed one, who needs a cam vise because of arthritis in the hands, to be able to do this switcheroo. Of course, the cost of the cam doubles the cost of the vise. Still, now it will make a great traveling, throw it in the trunk type of carry with vise. My thoughts. Joyce -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: [VFB] Re: Mayfly Vise
I also have the Renzetti Traveler but have had to replace the screw with the cam. Old fingers just don't work that well any more.. I also have the Renzetti Traveler but have had to replace the screw with the cam. Alan, That's a nice thing about the Mayfly vise (or whatever Fred calls it). I bought one as a spare vise to use with PHW classes. Although the head is similar to the old Renzetti head, the knobs are much larger. It's easy to use and has good gripping power. It's one of the best inexpensive vises I've ever seen. Old fingers just don't work that well any more.. I've got all kinds of cutting remarks I could make. But I won't.
