Only a handful of these “pilot wheel” engraver’s vises were custom made by the late John Madole. The wheel is turned to tighten or loosen the massive ball joint, allowing the user to set the precision jaws at any convenient angle. Information is scanty, but there’s a couple more pics here at Lindsay Airgravers.

Check out the PivotLok [http://www.pivotlok.com/]. Some of my Entrepreneurship students at California State University San Marcos worked on a project for this company last semester and I found the tool to be exceptionally versatile. Everyone that interacted with it marveled at its simplicity and functionality.
