I have a 4" drill press vice. The moveable jaw has 2 semi circular
jaws (the diameter being half the vice width) that pivot to clamp any
odd shaped piece. It works really well on round items. I would like to
buy another but don't know what to search for.

Then at the very top of the screen, click "images" and scroll through
all the photos until you find the one that matches.

I recall seeing one of them some time back in a shop but cant remember
any details

He might have one of these:

There are better pictures of one for sale on a UK website (of course
with the British spelling of €śvise€ť):

(also €śaluminium€ť jaws for sale there.)


Similar..but the one I saw had (2) "tilting" jaws so it would grasp
odd sized and non linear work pieces.

And I cant remeber where I saw the damned thing. I do recall seeing it
and mentally saying "cool!" after a quick flash of the applications.
