WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ANVIL ATLAS AND THE ANVIL APEX? 

Could it be that one is a full rotary vise and the other is not?  NO, they both have full 360 degree rotation capability. They why is the Atlas more money?  Here’s the answer:

Apex:  in-line rotary. Where the hook is on the horizontal planeto the barrel or top of the vise.

Atlas: off-set rotary. The jaw is off-set at an angle. This allows

the jaw to be moved without conflict with materials. Most people

use a bobbin cradle with the Atlas. More complex flies can be

made on this vise verses the Apex. Both will do the job, but when

dealing with multiple materials and glues, the Atlas provides 

added space for working.
