The rotating plate (14) has a mounting means (24) to allow the turning on a horizontal plane while having a hinged means to the articulating plate (16) allowing movement from 0 to at least 90 degrees from horizontal. The rotating plate (14) and the articulating plate (16) are attached via a set of links (18) and a slotted link (20) and having a set on each side with a locking means (34) and (36) to set at a given plurality of angles as needed. The articulating plate (16) additionally allows a variety of sizes and types of vises or tools to be attached.
