I'm a fan of the panavise as well. I picked up a larger than I needed at the time model, but it was super cheap on ebay. I've grown into it and it's super handy. The base is quite heavily so it doesn't move around when flipping and turning.<div>

</div>The "universal work holder" that I pointed out isn't actually made by<br>
Dremel -- it's made by some anonymous import company and sold through<br>
Harbor Freight (and others).<br>
<br>
Anyway, I'd also recommend the "Panavise Jr." (Panavise Model 201) as<br>
a benchtop hands-free work-holder. The vice jaws are long and have<br>
various grooves cut in them for holding PCBs (and other objects). The<br>
jaws can swivel, rotate, and pivot about the base to allow exact<br>
positioning of the work piece. The Panavise line of vice heads and<br>
bases is extensive, but sometimes pricey, so you might want to see<br>
what's on eBay.<br>
