      Dammit , I have more tools than I have room for now ! 'Sides , I've   
   already got it figgered out what to use and how to hold it . Actually ,   
   if I design the fixture right I won't need to use the screwless vise .   
   Eliminates one possibility to screw it up .

   I posted it more to illustrate the concept than to suggest buying the   
   expensive one shown.   
   The base would be easy to make from two angles or T stock.   
      
   I've been watching for ideas or parts to build a work holding and cutter   
   sharpening fixture similar to that of the Quorn.

   The swiveling head on my surface grinder is a larger version of the Quorn's.

   I have the between-centers cutter grinding table for it, the Uni-vise, and a   
   5C spin index but not a collet fixture that tilts vertically, for   
   resharpening taps etc..   
      
   Like a Shopsmith it adapts to a variety of tasks, none done as well as a   
   more rigid single-purpose machine.
