John,
I don't think that ONE vice will suit your needs. Perhaps my earlier suggestion was to access the Ian Bradley book does suggest a vice with the ability to rotate. Again, he suggests a toolmaker's small vice and goes on to various hold downs.
I no longer have my old Drummond but today, I was using FOUR of my vices and at one time, had a vice within a vice.
If you want to cut gears, you need to index them in a very different vice.
Earlier still, I recommended a 'freebie' which is Advanced Machine Work by Robert H Smith. There is a lot more on the subject of shapers and work holding- which I feel was your question.
