need help mounting my press

[slopoke]

I did not mount my press to my bench, because I like to have it clear when working on larger projects. I have a 3/4 inch of plywood board that I attached my press to. I use two big c clamps to secure the board to the bench.

I just built my workbench and I am having trouble deciding the best way to mount it. I made a standard 2x4 bench with Simpson ties from Home Depot. The press I have is really small (LEE "C" Frame). The mounting holes are really close to the lip of the press.

Since its mounting holes are so close to the edge, I have to drill through a 2x4 and 3/4" plywood. I'm thinking of making a wood mount to raise the press off the bench. I would like to have it sit maybe 6" away from the edge since I don't have an overhang anyways.

Any suggestions? I was looking at how the budgetarmory and juijitsu did theirs on youtube.

I hope you are not planning on resizing rifle brass on that. If so, get ready to send it in after it snaps.

You can also use a bolt in the holes that dont go through a 2x4 and screws with washers in the holes that do go over the 2x4. That's what I did with my partner press, havent had any issues.

Thats what I did. Nuts and bolts in two, and a big lag bolt in the other. I built the bench before I bought the press and didn't foresee this issue. Then again IDK how else I would have worked around it.

Edit: As a matter of fact it may have one nut and bolt setup and two lag bolts. Regardless I have not had any issues loading .223
