I'm gonna finally build my new ultimate reloading bench and have been piecing ideas from a bunch of different plans together. I came across this one idea which I like in theory, but I'm not sure if it truly will work out as planned.
As you can see here: http://www.rifleshootermag.com/ammunition/benchs_022607/index1.html It allows you to slide in and out the necessary components. I was thinking of putting the bolt through even though the author says it's not necessary for that extra ounce of stability for a press, but probably not for the dillon super swager. Has anyone built this bench or utilized this principle yet? Thanks in advance! |

If you don't want so many layers of plywood on the top you could do something like this.
I think I like the bench you posted a little more because I think the Melamie on the bench I posted could warp/swell over time and make the blanks fit too tight or too loose. That said, I went with just the basic two layer top for now being I only possess a turret press. When I expand my reloading I'll probably change the top(s) out for something like in your link. |
| Thanks for the feedback and other suggestions. I kind of like layering the top as to add to the overall sturdiness of the countertop. My existing bench worked great with my turret without any flex, but my recently acquired 650 with casefeeder flexes the crap out of it. So I'm back to the drawing board and am looking for the most versatility/future-proofness/stability. |

some nice ideas there.............I use elevated (dillon strong mounts) on my presses...........here is a page about the adaptor, but scroll down to the one by Dusten (user here on this forum). when I end up rebuilding it oneday, I am probably going to use the t-Slots like he did and then mounts everything onto a board......
