I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is a bench vise available that is reversed from normal vise configuration. Essentially what I'm thinking is having the clamping jaws over the table and not out beyond the edge of table and the handle in normal position past the edge of table to allow full revolutions. I see HF has a reversible bench vice which is almost what I want but the handle is over the tabletop, which means you can only do half turns.

I'm curious what the instance you want that set up for?
To avoid clamping stuff off the edge of table or bench. Or having to rotate vise to support one end of object on surface but other end is hanging out in air. Maybe a drill press vice would work for what I'm thinking.
 
The linked vice might work if it can rotate 180° or I would just mount it that way, then that would make the normal orientation a bit useless. Just need to be able to move the handle to other end of jack screw.

edit: I should have read the description, it swivels 360° horizontally. Might be able to use that after all.
