Reloader Work Bench

[thmpr]

I have ordered a new XL650 Dillon and was wondering if anyone used a work bench from Home Depot, Lowe's and etc. I do not want to build one. Any suggestions where I can purchase a reloader work bench?

Thanks!!!

Just get something thick and heavy. Thick on the table top to mount the press so it does not rip off the table (don't ask me how I know this ) and heavy so you don't tip the bench over while working.

If you're talking about that wood workbench that they sell at HD then yes, it looks more than sturdy enough. In fact, I'm thinking about buying it myself since it is priced very good and I don't have to do any of the cuts.

Thumbs up for choosing the 650, fine piece of equipment there. I have had mine for over 10 years and can't imagine reloading on anything else again.

Beware the metal-framed Gorilla workbenches. The frame flexes and the bench top is flimsy particle board. I had one already when I started reloading, and I ended up having to reinforce the top to handle the loads I put on it when operating a press.

If I had it to do over again I'd just build something from 2x4s.
