Quick change reloading bench mounting plates.

[HiredHand]

Anyone running a quick change plate on their reloading bench and which one? Pictures of you setups would also be appreciated. I don’t really want to permanently mount my reloading equipment to the bench at this time.

I use Lee reloaders and their quick change plates. I really like them but I don’t know if they would work on other brands.

I have In-line fabrication products. Great service and very well built. Older pictures, but you get the idea. Mounts have quick change tops. Different heights available from flush to about 12” high. I countersunk the mount plate and my work surface so I can remove the mounts and replace the bolts for a smooth surface again.

I also run Inline Fabrication For my press. I have a quick change plate for my Lee Bench Primer tool and my Dillon Super Swage tool as well.

Edit: added a photo

I bought an Inline Fabrication quick change setup for my 750 then realized once I had it all set up with lights, case feeder and bullet feeder, I wasn't going to be quick changing anything.
For the 650 I used their regular tall mount, but did use quick change for my 3rd mount to set up the quick change between my Rock chucker and vise.

I am so cheap I made my own, used a walnut scrap to mount it to the bench. I put threaded inserts into the bottom of the bench and made wooden wing nuts that go through a piece of walnut and thread into the bench inserts.
the idea was I can remove the press without any tools and move it to a similar threaded insert on the shelf underneath the bench top. if you zoom in you can kind of see one of the threaded inserts on the lower shelf.
hope these pictures explain it better than I did.

I also mounted the 650 with threaded inserts but it is on a Dillon strong mount so I was able to attach it directly to the bench with no plate.

I done mine kind of similar.

The base is mounted to the press. A base on each press.

The base is cut on a 45° angle. /_\
The top of the bench is cut with a slot for the press base to slide into and bolt down.

Quick and easy to change presses.
After getting top and bases cut.

In-line is your ticket. I have mounts on three benches and plates on all my presses, swager, primer, vise,and barrel vise. I can use any of my gear on any bench I choose. My 650 is mounted on one of their risers with the QD plate.

Inline Fabrication here. My bench is just big enough for a press and a little workspace so I switch out the LnL AP and single stage when I need to switch to rifle case prep or other tasks that work better on the single stage. Very convenient!

I have the 7-1/2 for my Frankford Arsenal M-Press but just ordered the 9-3/4 for my RCBS turret press.

The 7-1/2 wasn’t tall enough to operate the turret press handle so just keep that in mind for whichever press/presses you have.
