New loading bench

And Redhat.com sticker. This guy is a lawyer

The ssc.com linux sticker ages me, started using it on instructor duty at Great Lakes back in oh, 93-94. (that would be before redhat, slackware!) My official title is "Sr. Systems Administrator."

The 2" tubing is left over from building my tubing bender, and my buddy had the 3/16" scrap. I spent like 8 bucks on the receiver tube that's under the bench.

Wholly smokes man. You should start selling them mounts. That looks super sturdy. Good job.

Yeah, it was way easier than setting up gears. I was joking with my wife, "I'll bet people want me to make these for them once they see it." I'm actually thinking about building a 4' x 4' CNC plasma cutting table and doing small parts.

haha, your bench has a class 3 receiver hitch now.

If that really fits the tow hitch on a car/truck. You'd have the ultimate portable reloading system.

People have built press mounts that slide into a class 3 reciever so they can load at the range.

Nice work.

Please tell me your using a Miller.

Good looking bead.

It does. But the hitch will need to be modified for an anti-wobble bolt, or the mount needs modified. You have to take up the slack between the receiver and the hitch. Grab any receiver hitch once it's installed and they all have a little bit of play.

Yup, my uncle upgraded and I got his 130XP (basically a 135) for next to nothing. The tube is 1/4" and I beveled the crap out of it since the 130 is only rated for 3/16". Came out nicer than I expected.

Interesting solution and I see the mount lending itselfs to a variety of attachments, like a bicycle work mount or some other hobby support.

Your bench seems big enough, why didn't you just leave the press mounted?

That gets in the way of stuff them. The bench is 30x96, and I use it for doing all sorts of mechanical work. Didn't think of the bicycle stand, still need to figure something out for the bacchetta carbon aero recumbent and the regular road bikes. I have a stand already, but this gives me ideas.
