Tail vise
I'm thinking of building a new bench with a tail vise. I've never used one,
though I currently have a traveling dog. While inconvenient to opperate, I appreciate what it does. My question is, assuming that a good face vise of some sort makes the jaw redundant, what role does the tail vise play other than carrying the dog? My plan at this point is to build a leg vise on the front and some sort of travleing dog as a tail vise. Thanks, CB |

Thanks, CB http://www.jeffgreefwoodworking.com/...Proj/woodvice/ I'm kinda in the same boat, and I ran across this. It was the best link I found in my (rather limited) search. Hope it helps.
