There is a vise on ebay advertised as a "Renzetti Style Rotary Vise W/Base".
I contacted the seller asking for the name of the manufacturer. He replied
the vise was manufactured by Zephr Fly Tying Tools.

Any input on this vise would be appreciated!

My old Thompson "A" is still doing fine but I would like to try a rotary
vise within the $100 dollar range.
Thanks,
Guy

I would expect that with enough patience & persistence, you should be able
to snag a genuine Renzetti Traveller in that range. (I did, though not off
of Ebay.)

Why not buy a new one in that range with a money back guarantee from a reputable
company?: http://tinyurl.com/9axz
It works well for me and several other people I know.

I just bought a Danvise (through e-bay) for $70. It is true rotary and I
love it.

How much do you actually use the rotary option? Every time you wrap line, or
just when using difficult herl, or what? I don't have a rotary, and so far I
don't really miss one except maybe when I'm tying on beards.

After watching Tom Littleton tie, I use the hell out of the rotary.
Wrapping herl, dubbing, etc.

I can see that. Personally, if another piece of peacock hurl slips out my
fingers on the last wrap and unwinds at 100 mph, I'm gonna scream.

When wrapping herl, how do you keep the spooled line from also wrapping?

Wrap the thread in the opposite direction that the vise will turn, it
will unwind along the way.

Throw a half hitch or two in the thread, then bring the thread out in front
of the vice jaws using a bobbin cradle. If your action is "true rotary",
meaning that the hook shank is nearly colinear with the axis of rotation,
the spooled line won't wind.
