Anyone running a rock chucker on an inline mount? UPDATE POST 30, bench makeover!!!

[Ferrum]

I have a Rock Chucker, RCBS Turret, Pro 2000 and a Summit all on Inline mounts. 2 of them are the standard height mounts and 2 are the mid mounts. For me, I like the height of the mid mounts a little better... I generally work off a bar stool and that height with the mid mount feels a little better ergonomically.

We have our Hornady LNL single stage at the Ventura County Reloading Club on an In-Line mount, it's a great piece of gear that you will grow to love. I will be ordering them for my LCT and LCC presses as well. Best way to raise them up to where you want them and hang all sorts of cool, useful accessories off of them. I love their bin system and LED lights too!

This vid has nothing to do with your original post, but in it you can see this guy's quick change set up. I really like it because you can easily "make room" depending on what you happen to be working on.

That's pretty cool. Any specs on that?

Gavin is just using a T-slot rail system. The rails are inletted into the bench top and the T-nuts slide into the openings

Bench Upgrades

Over the last few months I did a few upgrades to my bench.

I'd always wanted to to a t-slot/t-track system for misc things to mount to the bench (powder drops, mini saw for cutting 300 blackout, etc.). I finally got around to it and it came out pretty good. I'm a fan of red...



My original plan was to use the t-slot for mounting an additional press. I have 2 presses (LCTs) mounted at each end of my small bench. I was going to create a mount for the press above using the t-slots when I found some new things Dan @ Inline Fab had done for quick mounts. I didn't want any of the ultramounts as they take up too much space for my specific bench, but his quick change flush mount system was just perfect. So I decided to do this for my existing LCT and new LnL...



Since one LCT is used for reloading while I'm sitting, this one is for standing (resizing, swaging, decapping, etc.) so I liked the height with the custom riser. Had a custom riser for the LnL made so I could stand for that as well.



Fully loaded it looks like...



then I mounted the mounting brackets on the side of the bench for swapping out one or both of the presses.



Quite satisfied with how it all turned out. Inline Fab's stuff rocks. Great quality at a great price and Dan's great to work with.

Citadelgrad87, I use Inline Fab quick change setup for my Hornady Lock and Load AP(9mm, 45ACP and 5.56) and Rock Chucker for 308, 7mm mag and 338 Lapua, RCBS Lube-A-Matic-2 and a Sears Vise. Rock solid, and good speed with his cartridge kicker. I emailed Dan about some quick change plates for my setup and he was able to accommodate my request right away, no extra charge. A+

[Citadelgrad87]

Well, I'm going to get the quick change mount for my dillon, the chucker, and my super swage. Should free up some bench space.

I'll post some photos and you can judge for yourselves.

are the t-slots available from inline as well?

Inline Fab does not carry the t-slots. Amazon has them in 12/24/36" lengths. Only vendor I've been able to find that carried red. There are quite a few vendors that sell blue and natural aluminum colored. The Amazon ones are surprisingly inexpensive compared to what's out there. Shop around for sure.

Hmmm...... 'splain to me about this T-slot deal.....

I route slots in my work bench, wedge these 1n with a mallet or screw them down or something, and then I can use various clamping hardware?

Gimme an idea on how to install/get started with this. I need to resurface my worktable anyway, so this looks like a good upgrade!

None, directly mounted to my bench. I sit in a folding chair.

I went ahead and ordered a quick change mount and plates for my 3 main pieces of equipment.

Here's the press area now.



Here is the stuff I ordered, well, the boxes





And another box. I hope to make some progress this weekend toward getting this squared way.

Looking forward to the updates. Definitely worth looking into, lots of good information here.
