So after years, decades, of bolting presses and trimmers and powder stands to my old bench ... I just couldn't stand the thought of having so many holes in my new benches.

So I decided to invest in two mounts, the 9" and the inset plate from Inline. Then I invested in two quick change plates for my 650 and my T7.

Now I am obsessed.

In the past eight months I now have quick change plates for the above plus the 7" stand and the mini 4" (four mounts total including the inset flush plate) and I have quick change plates for my MEC Sizemaster, two Rock Chuckers, a Partner, my Trim Pro-2, my powder stand and accessory plates, my HF case cutter (for trimming 5.56 into 300 BLK) and a vice. Oh, and my RCBS Autoprime.

I can switch from standing to sitting and back to standing in about 30 seconds. It's a darn dream come true.

All-in-all about $500 worth from Inline but man oh man has it organized my new shop. I bought a couple of the wail rails and plate mounts to hang presses and accessories and bins out of the way when not in use ... heck, now I sit in the man cave and just admire it when I am not rolling a batch of something or other. I sit out there and read or watch shows on my tablet, listen to the radio ... completely avoiding the inside of the house when possible with wife and kids and grandkids running around everywhere.

I give Dan at Inline full credit for giving me the ability to make the space and organize ... well worth the investment over time. Really quality workmanship.

I'm a big fan of inline.

I've got their bins, their wall mount holders for shellplate/turret and the best of all, their roller handles.

Here's a link to anyone interested in a peek at their products:

Yeah I am looking at roller handles for my 650 and T7. I think those items may be next on my list. I keep reading good things about adding them.

A good friend told me that he had them on all his presses and told me to try one. I did and immediately bought another for my second progressive metallic press.

I bought one, then bought 2 more, and then figured out there is an interchangeable system. (It might not have existed back at the time).

That quick mount system is the bees knees for sure. If I build a new bench or reconfigure my setup, I'll definitely go with that for my progressives. Inline has been an excellent company to work with.

Here's the two I have with the swing arm for bins, on my current progressive setups:

I use Lee quick change mounts for 3 of my metallic presses that are mounted on the bench.

Three more presses are stored in a bin underneath the bench.

You might want to check the Lee out also.

Inline is good stuff. Here's part of my setup...

My pictures must be old, they don't include my Redding Turret press that also hangs on my wall!

How tough was it cutting that plate in 67Goat? Looks like you used a wood chisel rather than a router?

I have the spacer ... it works well, but I see people doing it all kinds of different ways.

I am actually using clamps to hold everything down when I use the stands at the moment. I keep moving the stands around in the new room trying to decide where I want to permanently mount the stands.

You know, now they make a new quick change top plate so you can convert your old stand/mount/riser into a quick change ultra mount.

Mash there ... scroll down five items. Changes your old riser into a quick change system.

I love Inline. Dan makes great stuff at a good price. Excellent service, too.

Yep I just got a stand and ergo handle for my L&L and set it up, yesterday . I think its going to work great.

Now that's innovative. I've never seen reloading equipment mounted to a wall before.

Well done.

My plate looks (looked) like Goat’s, with a line on one size where the router got away from me....I pulled it up and sprayed it with WD40, mixed up a tube of JB Weld and bedded the quick plate. I have four other plates...two on RCBS rock chuckers, powder throw, trimmer and my vise! All of them swap out so easy and space is saved on the bench!

And I got the idea here on the forum. Thanks guys

That was a hard lesson learned. I used a router. I made a plunge cut and made the outline I wanted following a pencil line. I then turned the router off to inspect my work. I then placed the router into the slot I just cut and turned it on. The damn thing caught an edge of the plywood and tore the plywood...what you now see. Boy was I pissed!

Note to self, don't turn on a router while inside of a cut. Make sure the bit isn't touching any wood when you turn it on!

Those are just storage brackets. When I want to use one of the presses I lift it out of the storage bracket and mount it to my bench in the picture above (Quick change system). When I am done I take if off the bench/out of the permanently mounted bracket and store it on my wall. That way nothing is taking up space on my bench.

Okay. That's also innovative.

I laughed ... only because I've been there, done that Brother.

I though long and hard about routing mine in and then stepped back and ordered the spacer plate. And I have a ton of experience with a plunge router but something told me not to even try it this time on this butcher block bench top made of hard oak. (See background bench - old picture from when I was trying to figure-out where to place what ... I've done some rearranging since.)

I have 4 presses. All on their own Inline Stand plus other goodies. Dan has great stuff. And indeed good people. They used to be located 900 yards from me. Now they are 6-7 miles across town.

I'm going to have to look into this. I'm tired of swapping primer sizes on my RL-550 so I want to get a 2nd one and dedicate one to each primer setup. But, my bench is only about 4' long and it's already got one 550 and an RCBS single stage mounted on it. Just not room for another 550. I'm also toying with the idea of adding a turret press just to keep set up with dies that you use "once in a while" but don't want to have to swap in and out on the single stage press. Universal decapper, bullet puller, that sort of thing.

I'm thinking I would keep the turret mounted off to one side more or less permanently, and set up the others on a quick-change mount of some kind.

T6 aluminum plate 1" thickness, drilled and tapped to accept Dillon, RCBS, Hornady and Hollywood presses. Changing from one press to another takes 2 minutes. There is zero flex.
