I extended the lever on my renzentti to allow me to tighten it more. I have had
not chipping but rounding of the edges of the jaws, which causes flies to 'pop'
out at times, particularly if I take a small bite of the shank or i try to pad
the shank like with salmon fly hooks.

I havenât had that problem with my Renzetti but you just hit on the
reason why I donât use it very much anymore. I didnât like how much I had
to tighten the jaws to get it to hold the hooks. They kept moving when I
would tighten down my wraps. I have heard of the jaws chipping so I just use
my Dyna King now for everything except small trout flies and now I use the tube
fly head on the Renzetti base. That one of the things Renzetti did very well.
You only have to buy the head of the vise to change it to a tube fly vise. I
wish Dyna King wouldâve done that so I wouldnât have to buy more vises.

Subject: [VFB] Chipped Jaws...
I was wondering if anyone else has had any problems with the jaws on a
Renzetti chipping??? Most of the flys I tye are in the size range of a #20 to
a #26 and the other day I noticed that the jaws on my "Renzetti Travler" were
chipped... Now I do tighten the jaws down pretty good because I hate it when
I'm trying to make some "tight" wraps and the hook turns in the vise...
Thanks for your comments in advance...
Rodney...
