Any one using the Lee Bench plate setup?

[mag41uk]

I have finally got fed up enough getting cold in my garage to renovate my home office to include a bench.
I have an RCBS Summit press and a Redding T7 turret press. Plus an RCBS heated lubesizer.
I quite fancy being able to mount these as required.
Any one got any hands on feed back ?

I don't use the lee bench plates.. (too much of a skin-flint!!...) but I have an interchangeable plate system...

I mounted my Lee Pro 100 and the Lee Classic to 10'' square bits of 18mm plywood. both of those have holes drilled in exactly the same place.
I then have 4 holes in my bench that line up with the holes in the plywood, with captive nuts (T nuts I think they're called???) under the bench so i can bolt the plates to the bench.

Means i can swap the presses around... or any other tool i want, just mount to a "plate" and bolt it down.

Thirty quid for the base system which is good for three items plus a template to make many more seems quite reasonable. The important part is to have a good sturdy and rigid bench to attach things to.

I use it with Lee presses. Simple and effective.

I use it and also attached the plate from Inline Fabrication to it.

Using the press mounted plates I can now quickly switch between my 3 Lee presses and an RCBS Rockchucker mounted on a modified plate.

I also bought extra bracket sets so I can store my presses safely above the bench, I'll try and get a couple of photos posted tomorrow morning.

Yep I've got one on my press too. Primarily to I can just shift it out of the way if I need more bench space

Low tech solution for me. Both my presses are bolted to blocks of wood and use a couple of G-clamps to hold them on the edge of the bench. Powder measures again screwed to a piece of wood the clamped in place when required. When not reloading everything is put away leaving bench free for other things.
Should have said bench is really a length of kitchen worktop fixed to the wall in my spare bedroom which doubles as an office/gunroom.

Here we go,
Full bench setup


Modified Lee bench plate (added Inline Fabrication plate), completely removable from bench in 1 min using 4 Lee bolts/nuts,


Lee brackets on shelf to hold/lock presses into place for storage,


Setup for using Lee progressive or single stage press,


Setup for using RCBS Rockchucker with the Inline Fabrication auto case ejection system, can use various size bins, also a PCat2 primer attachment (forgot to show the spent primer tube!)
