DIY Dillon 550B toolhead stand for multi Toolheads..problem SOLVED

[Bongos]

Originally, I was going to buy extra stands for my Dillon toolheads with dies attached, bottom line it will be expensive so I went to Home Depot and have a look to see what is avail, I looked at wood first.. nothing was pre-cut in the diameter I needed, then I looked at PVC pipes.. nothing meets the diameter I wanted, I then headed to the bolts and nuts section, there I found what I needed. 2.5" 3/8 bolts, with 3/8 nuts, and most important the 3/8 x 1-9/16 drop in concrete anchor, also a sturdy piece of wood/particle board I found in my Garage.. this is what I fabricated.. not ugly, not pretty, but very functional.. THA DA... total cost of hardware less wood/plateform was around $13 with tax

neat idea i would have put a washer on them so it doesnt leave the hex mark from stopping on the nut

How much are the anchors?

Thought about that as well, haven't had time to figure what size washer

How much are the anchors?

about 4 for $4 with Tax

Just an update, if you are going to get washers, the size is 5/16, this washer marginally clears the 3/8 bolts with the outside diameter perfect for these toolheads, going with the 3/8 washer would be a mistake as the inner hole is too large and the washer will not be secure by the anchor.. fyi for the diy

I like it but you forgot the plastic sandwich bags to put over the tool head to keep clean
