My Bench
For many years, I have been using a Dillon Square Deal B attached to a Princess Auto metal table. The table was not very rigid and would flex more than I liked and the press wasn't at the greatest height for ergonomics. My neck and back ached after reloading.
I decided to finally treat myself and my aching back, neck and hands and went all out with a new Dillon 1050 press, primer tube filler and a whack of Inline Fabrication upgrades. Since we now sell all these, it was a great opportunity to test them all out.
Here are some of the details:
Machines:
Two Dillon Square Deal B's:
One with large primer installed and the other with small primer installed. These are installed on 9 5/8" Inline Fabrication Quick Change Mounts with LED lighting systems and dual bin racks. The quick mount lets you add or remove a machine in less than 60 seconds and the mounts a built like TANKS. It greatly spreads the load out on the table and also raises the machine to a more comfortable height. The mounts let you add a variety of accessories including extra bins, die holders etc.
One machine has the Bob Chute installed for the primers. I'll be upgrading the other one shortly.
Dillon 1050 with the following upgrades:
Mr. Bullet Feeder
Bob Chute for the primers into a bucket
Bearing shell plate and low mass detent ball
Inline Fabrication 4" Ultra Mount
LED Lighting
The bench is a Princess Auto steel table that I bolted on two sheets of 1/2" MDF that are glued together. This eliminated the flex in the table. The back of the table has a peg board which is great for holding wrenches and other accessories. I attached two power bars to the bench as well as fluorescent lighting (you can never have too much light). I painted the wood white to get the maximum amount of light.
This is the shell plate bearing and low mass detent ball. These help to eliminate powder spilling when you turn the shell plate with cases filled near capacity. You can also see the Inline Fabrication LED lighting system installed over the bullet seating die. This allows you to see how much powder is in the case which is fantastic for safety.
Here is the Dillon 1050 case feeder with the Mr. Bullet Feeder control mounted to the 1050. The Mr. Bullet feeder is an amazing feat of engineering and fun to watch.
Here is the Dillon low primer alarm along with a micro switch controlled round counter.
Here is the Inline Fabrication case feeder mirror. This allows you to see what is happening inside the case feeder without standing on a ladder. It is on a fully adjustable arm.
Here are the Inline Fabrication Bin Barriers. They greatly add to the capacity of the bins preventing rounds from falling out the front.
Here is the Dillon Primer Filler and the Inline Fabrication primer tube holders. The primer filler works great and saves all the hunting and pecking we usually have to do to fill our primer tubes.
Here is the completed bench. That is 3 machines on a 4x2 table
