I am going to show my ignorance here. I look at these rotary vices and can't
figure something out. Some have a "V" shaped bar from the stand to the vice
and others are at an angle. What I don't understand is how they rotate ? and
What is the advantage ? On the ones with the "V" dose the whole thing rotate
or just the head. How do you hod everything and rotate the head ? , just
seams complicated and it probably shouldn't be.
Confused country boy..

Jimi,
With a rotary vise the head and arm turn. A true in axis rotary (Renzetti) has a "V" shaped arm to keep the shank in line with the shaft. With these the whole "V" rotates. A straight arm does not keep the shank inline and does not give you a true on axis rotation. To rotate, turn the arm after you have tied in the materials. Rest the thread on the bobbin rest after securing with a half hitch. Benefits are ease and speed of thread and material application.
I have gotten so spoilt to mine, that to tie on anything else is a chore.
