I was thinking about your latest post about the history of the fractal vise. More specifically, that one of the reason it dissapeared was that the positionning was not repetable. There would be a way to make it more reppeatable, you just need to be able to lock one of the main half circles. It wouldn't loose much of the fit anything feature and it would permit to clamp the same shape in the same way very easily. Adding a reference point to the outside (endstop) would even make it almost perfectly repetable.
