Does anyone have their reloading bench on castors so you could roll it around and move out of the way? I was wondering is it steady enough or a PITA cause it moves a little?
Reloading bench
- Thread starter chopit
- Start date
I just dont have alot of room. I found a 200 lbs roll around workstation at cosco that looked like it would do good. What size table tops do most of you have? I can get a 2'x7' in my shop just wondering if that is enough.
2'x7' is pretty long. I would at least get 3' width and up to 5' is good enough. If you have the space do 3'x7' but since you're cramping 3'x5' will work.
-Do not get wheels.
My very first reloading bench I built with a friend. Made of several plywood boards put together braced with 2x4's. I don't like it anymore because the legs are long and its been hard to move around when I had to move (work for uncle sam so its been through 3 moves so far in the past 4 years). I ended up getting thick 1 1/2" wooden bench with metal legs that I can take off with some tools.
-Before you drill any holes or what not, set up the bench and place it where you want to do your work. Literally sit there and C clamp your press onto your bench first and do some "shadow boxing" to see if the placement fits you. Again my first bench I made the mistake of pre drilling holes and I ended up moving my press over a bit more. I would just temporarily place things on your bench to see how your work flow goes before committing to anything permanent.
go start to finish on a full reload.

Im pretty sure they have wheel assemblys that are mounted on a cam sort of arrangement.
You want wheels you press a foot pedal and cam the wheel down to come into contact with the floor and make your bench mobile.
Press again on the foot pad and the wheel lifts up to make your bench leg in solid contact with the floor.
Maybe I just imagined such a thing exists and now I should invent it but Im pretty sure it exists.
