Looking for ideas for mounting my rock chucker, powder drop and case trimmer. I'm trying to figure out my new bench. I want to be able to take them off to use the bench for other projects. I have seen the resessed rails but I'm no carpenter. Looking for something a little simpler. I'll probably only have 2 mounted at once.

What am I not thinking of?
 
Bolts with wingnuts to hold your Rock Chuck.... fasten the other stuff to plywood that you can C clamp to the bench top.... Lots of ways to accomplish this...
 
That^
I have mine with a bolt and a wing nut and washer. When I’m done just spin them off easy and it’s a clean flat table top again.
 
I have mine mounted to 2x8 with hole drilled through and through the bench. A permanent T-but under bench with a bolt through table allows quick change of various presses and mounted accessories (vise, trimmer, case prep, etc). Good luck.
