rwiederrich Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share #800 Posted February 12, 2019 Unlike the Dremel version the B/D is fully articulated...meaning it can rotate and be adjusted in a vast array of different angles and latitudes. It rolls around on a ball at the base and you can adjust the level and angle. One real reason I prefer it over the Dremel vice.
