Re: [VFB] Oft-asked question/rotary vise

[Wes Wada]

One advantage of the HMH I own is that you CAN flip the fly over easily 
to inspect or tie.  You can actually use it as a rotary, though it is 
not a true rotary where the axis of the hook shank doesn't change 
position.  The shank remains parallel on an HMH as you rotate, but the 
position of the shank rises and falls maybe 1/4".

My concerns about a rotary (having never used one) is that they look 
less solid than the HMH, DynaKing, Regal type vises.  And talk about 
another dumb question...what in the heck is the bobbin cradle used for? 
 What happens if you don't use it?
