“As a bonus, you don't have to worry about getting jaws parallel to the faces of your work, because they'll flex into position. So it's easier and faster to set up because you don't need to be exact.”

I just happily used my Moxon. I wasn’t creative in its design: it’s thick-jawed, traditional, and cork-lined. A feature I like a lot about it is how fast it is to get into position: you just screw down the left end “close” to width, shift the work to the center, and spin down the right hand wheel. I’m perhaps a little too concerned with marring the work, so the flat, even, cork-softened force across the face appeals to me.
