quick change press mounting

[1mathom1]

Anybody using threaded inserts or t-nuts to make swapping out presses on their bench fast and easy?

I know about In Line Fabrication's products but I'd like to keep the top of the bench clear.

I’m using Inline Fabrication mounts. I had the same concern as you so I countersunk the Inline Fab mounts and used hardware that would keep everything flush when removed.

Nice. No concerns with stability?

Those pictures are dated August 1, 2015. No issues yet. I’ve mounted and used Dillon 550s, 650s, a RL1050 and a Super 1050, a vice, powder throw, and a couple of single stage presses on them over the last 5 years.
