Since I happened upon two new presses (Dillon 550B and Forster Co-ax) I purchased from a member here I needed to create some system that allowed me to swap presses out at will. Didn't feel like getting rid of the old Redding Big Boss II and just added a Saeco Lubrisizer.
I purchased Pat Marlin's RockDock system. Pretty well made setup. You do need half a mechanical brain to install it and I'm really not too handy but after some trial and error I got it going. The second one was waaaaay easier than the first one to get right. If I had to do a third it would be a piece of cake ;-)
In hind-sight I should have just taken off my Forster trimmer and installed it elsewhere on one of the side shelves and made a dedicated trimming station. And put the second RockDock a bit further towards the end on the left but it is what it is. If I get irritated with it in the way I'll get that trimmer taken out; just don't like to see extra holes on the bench.
I recommend Pat's system for those of you not quite as mechanically inclined like me. I know lots of others have made their own quick mount setups that are quite nice.
Photo with just one press mounted:
All the stuff I have in this picture. Redding Big Boss II is on the rear right.
Pat's got a real nice 'ShelfDock' system for storing presses but it was on backorder.
Curious to hear what you guys think of this setup.
