Just thought I'd share how I mounted the Hornady LOCK-N-LOAD® CASE PREP TRIO.
The unit is meant to sit horizontally on the bench. You'd likely need two hands, one to hold the unit down, one to hold the brass. I didn't like that. Take up table top space and requires two hands. I decided it needed to be mounted to the side of my bench, out of the way. This ended up being way easier than I expected. I just had to drill 4 holes.
The rubber feet on the bottom of the unit are just held on with machine screws. The screws are threaded into nuts that are captured in the aluminum housing. This means they can slide and move around when you loosen the screws so are easily adjusted to fit your drilled holes. Simply drill four holes in the side of your bench, or where ever you want to mount it. Them just bolt it on. So easy. Now that it's mounted vertically, you want something to catch your brass shavings. Go down to the hardware store and pick up a "pipe test cap". It's thin plastic so easy to drill and it's not two big. I didn't even look at the price, couldn't have been over $1. Remove the end cover on the unit to accurately layout your holes to be drilled. Drill three 3/8" holes and you're done. Slide the cap over, install your bits, and get prepping brass.
