A rotating vise is a tool used in woodworking and metalworking to hold objects securely while allowing for easy access from different angles. It features a rotating base that can turn 360 degrees, enabling users to position their workpieces without needing to reposition the entire vise. This flexibility enhances precision and efficiency during tasks like drilling, sanding, or cutting. Typically mounted on a workbench, rotating vises come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different projects. They often include features like quick-release mechanisms and adjustable jaws, making them versatile for holding various shapes and sizes of materials, such as wood or metal.
