So I recently picked up a parrot vise (sweet!) and the cork lined jaws to go with it. Now I am wondering...
In researching the vise on this forum prior to buying it I ran across a picture of the inserts that Timbuck made for his. If I am not mistaken, only one of his pair had an angle on the backside for swiveling. The shop fox inserts both swivel. Is there a mechanical advantage to one set-up over the other?
It makes sense that it was easier for Timbuck to only angle one of the inserts he made, and also for a manufacturer to only produce angled inserts - if the set-ups work equally well. And yet I can't help but wonder if one arrangement is superior to the other.
Any thoughts? Mr. Timms?
Thanks.
