2. ...1. It's a regular item, not a limited run.<br />2. No. A handwheel really is superior here. A tommy-bar is overkill on a wagon vise, and not *good* overkill.<br />3. We've tested the Classic Crisscross Solo in a bench with a leg angled at 15 deg. It works. It's not quite as frictionless when making gross adjustments, since some of weight is off the vertical axis. The further you tilt, the more weight on the screw, the more friction you'll get. Angled leg vises have a nice look, but if you're working the ends of wide boards, a Moxon does it much better.<br />Jameel Abrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083855284894791544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430989134966768004.post-23593875533579515882014-04-02T09:30:58.058-05:002014-04-02T09:30:58.058-05:00Very nice!.

May I ask a couple of possibly dumb questions?<br />1) Will this be a permanent product offering or is it a limited run like the Carver's Vice?<br />2) Speaking of the Carver's Vice, are there any future plans to offer that handle on the tail vise?<br />3) What is the reason for not using the CrissCross on an English style bench with angled legs? (I was wondering if it was an idea that would work but your statement above prompted the question.)

Correct? Also, have you any plans to post installation instructions for the Classic Vice in the near future (despite the redundancy)? Thanks.

Buy the Glide if you prefer a more refined feel and modern look (think Porsche 911) Buy the Classic if you like things a little more stock and old-school (think '69 Dodge Charger). Both get you from A to B, just a little different way.

Is it basically just the handle vs. the wheel? Is there a functionality reason you might want one versus the other, or is just cosmetic?Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289439134849832162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430989134966768004.post-50102099762494646382014-04-01T19:39:25.174-05:002014-04-01T19:39:25.174-05:00Congrats.
