I don’t get to contribute much, being old and broke down. I got tired of not having something to put my Dillon Super 1050 tool heads on and also being cheep and not wanting to spend $60 on the only one I found online I made these up. I have seen several that people made but most required a lot of metal work or welding. Not having a welder but do have wood working tools I came up with this.

I had some ¾” cabinet grade plywood to use as a base now how to support the tool head.

Parts List:
6 3/8 x 10” plywood base (sized to fit my shelf)
6 3/8 x 10” masonite bottom
¾”x3” pipe nipple
¾”female to 1’2” male brass fitting (found at ACE hardware, most expensive part $5.75)
1” PVC Plug with ½” female end (Home Depot Part: 49081124488, this just fits the center hole in the tool head. About $0.50

I drilled a ¾” hole with a hole saw and found that a ¾” pipe nipple would screw into the hole. I found a ¾”female to ½”male pipe brass fitting in my spare plumbing parts and a 1” PVC plug to ½” female pipe.

I drilled a hole in the rear of the base to keep the head from swiveling around. I glued the Masonite to the base and finished with stain and paste wax.
Good luck and good shooting!

Re: Dillon 1050 Tool Head Stand, About $12

I did the same thing a few years back for my 650. just bought a 10' peice of PVC and some couplers. did not bother with any threaded parts.
Yours look better, mine suffer from unsightly glue dribbles.
 
I thought I would bump this up....thanks for the thread....I didnt go with the 3/4 inch pipe I went with a 1/2 inch pipe and it threaded right into the 1/2 female PVC. I didnt have to get the adapter then.
