    Default Rockwell RK9006 Bench Jaw

    Just saw this in the most recent issue of Popular Mechanics.
    Looks like what I need to hold wood carvings.
    Anybody using this so far?

    I'd do that, if I could find anything other than the little thumbnail in Popular Mechanics magazine!
    Amazon.com: Rockwell RK9006 BenchJaw Hands-Free Bench Vise: Home Improvement

    This is the only other illustration I can find.
    This is my 3rd effort to post, (keep getting Server Overload message)

    Simply put, it looks like a slightly smaller version of the JawHorse, foot pedal and all, without the floor stand.
    Looks like it bolts(?) to the edge of a workbench.

    I understand your frustration Robson V I can not post without several attempts

    No idea what the IT problem is.
    I'd like to buy the Bench Jaw, BUT

    Amazon.com ship only to a continental US address. Must see if that's really true.
    The size and shape of the thing looks like it would hold the vast majority of the carvings that I do.
    I have no consistently useful clamping/hold-down arrangement at all.

    The sine-wave inverter (expensive) in my back-up solar power house system has just died. Not so much as
    a spark to load the PS capacitors & no display at all. I must run motors and a square-wave inverter is useless.
    Had a friend pick up a 3kW inverter today for less than $200 (on sale). Probably built with crappy parts
    in a crappy factory Pacific Rim (nudge, nudge, wink, wink.) 2 yr warranty, I need it maybe once a week
    for less than 2kW, 1-8 hrs.

    Default All you need to do

    is go to any image on a website, as in the link RV put up, and then right click it and go: 'copy image url', then come here and paste it into your reply with the 'insert image tab' next to the two globe things. It will which show up this dialogue(I found I had to untick the box at the bottom "<input class="cke_dialog_ui_checkbox_input" type="checkbox" aria-labelledby="cke_83_label" id="cke_84_uiElement" style="cursor: auto; white-space: nowrap; margin: padding: border- auto; auto; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); float: none; -webkit-box-shadow: none !important;"><label id="cke_83_label" for="cke_84_uiElement" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: nowrap; background-color: transparent; margin: padding: border: auto; auto; border-collapse: collapse; vertical-align: baseline; cursor: auto; float: none; -webkit-box-shadow: none !important;">Retrieve remote file and reference locally"):

    Thanks for the link to all the illustrations. Far too many support rod things to be useful. Take the whole
    vice and give me the option of spinning the fixed work 360 degrees.
    I would like to be able to hang onto a 10cm x 10cm x 60cm carving in a vertical position and work on the end.
    Then, rotate it 90 degrees to work on a side. Flipping it around to work on the other sides is no big deal.
