Finally got around to adding two feet and a couple of shelves to my loading bench. Lots of reorganizing to do. The 650 lives on a storage bracket to the left since I use it the least. It keeps it out of my way. All presses and case prep gadgets have the Inline Fabrication quick mounts so not not being used is in the way.

This stuff is the nads. I have one base mount on my bench. It's the square black plate in the top photo. All of my presses are adapted with the QD base plates, along with some of my case pep tools, a Wilson trimmer, a RCBS bench priming tool, Dillon Super Swage, and a vise. I figured with space being at a premium, and I can only use one tool/press at a time. The storage brackets keep everything stored off the bench until I need it. The machine work on the pieces and the powder coat finish, makes you wonder how he can make much of a profit on what he sells.
The stuff is addictive. Once you figure out just how handy it is, you will start looking for the next item to get.
My only regret is not routing the bench to inset the base plate for a smooth bench top. I was going to take the top off and do it, but I remembered how many screws I used putting everything together. Everything has been puttied over and painted, so that's not an option. I don't want to do it in place because it would take days to clean the place up. Just a word of advice. If you can route the bench for the base, by all means do it.
There is a visible gap where the tops meet. I'll probably go back and putty/paint it so it looks like a solid bench top. To be honest, by the time I got to that point, I was tied of monking with it and just wanted to get it finished.
looking good just need more automated loaders so you can work one and 9 others mimic what your doing .
