Strong Mount!! You Aint so Strong!!!

I built my bench the height I need to have the press at the correct height for easy operation then just mounted the press to the top of the bench. With your already in place lower table that is an awesome solution to your problem.

Thanks Silverback.... I actually designed the whole table to fit me.

The table is higher than normal by a few inches to accommodate me being tall. Then all the presses are set to my working height on that press. The Loadmaster I even put a holder for the brass forming ring and a primer tray as I prefer to put them in one at a time. The Co-Ax is set so that I can work looking down at it from where I like as I use it for my precision rifle loads. In the 2 open spaces at the table, since this pick the Dillon has went on and a Hornady Case Prep centre is now beside the Co-Ax. I wired power to the whole bench as I was sick of running cords when I needed other things running. The 2 Lee presses have since also had light strips attached for use while loading and that was all wired through the table and to a single switch that powers the plugs and the lights on the presses. On the end, this loading table has been a lot of fun to build. :dancingbanana:

Party on guys.

i give up, what's the do hicky on the table behind the scales?

is the table bolted down? looks like a really nice table, but not heavy enough to prevent moving around while loading.

The Do-Hickey is a bipod I design and built instead of buying one. It's as stable as a bag and custom set up for my 6.5 Creedmoor target rifle. The top is a bushing fit that we turned for exact fit so there is no wiggle. It's adjusted up and down on a fine thread rod with that large wheel for extreme adjustability up and down.

The table is all 2 inch steel bar with several crossbars. It's as stable as you can get. We can load with a guy on both sides with no wiggle to the weigh scales. It's built like a tank. The top is 2 sheets 3/4 oak laminated together. Add all the equipment on top and it's a beast.
