Custom heavy-duty modular reloading bench/workstation that I built approximately 10 years ago. I designed it to have the rigidity and stability of a permanent reloading bench while still being compact and portable.
$600 includes:
• Custom modular bench/workstation
• Lyman All-American 8 turret press
• Matching Lyman powder measure
• Lee Bench Plate quick-change mounting system
Other configurations available:
• Bench system only – $275
• Bench + Lyman All-American 8 – $500
• Bench + Lyman press + Lyman powder measure – $550
I’m willing to add or omit equipment and adjust the price accordingly.

The bench is built on a Black & Decker Workmate 550, the older heavy-duty model, with an approximately 3-inch-thick laminated plywood top made from multiple layers of 3/4-inch plywood. It has been in service for approximately 10 years and has proven extremely solid and durable.
The main feature of the bench is the modular mounting system. It was designed so equipment can be installed, removed, or changed without repeatedly drilling holes in the bench.
Features include:
• Heavy laminated plywood bench top
• Heavy-duty Black & Decker Workmate 550 base
• Lee Bench Plate quick-change mounting system
• Multiple interchangeable equipment mounting plates
• Heavy steel press mounting plate
• Steel mounting plate drilled for either the Lyman All-American 8 or Dillon 550
• Captive T-nuts secured underneath the bench for easy and solid press mounting
• Pull-out wooden tool/storage drawers
• Lower storage shelf
• Mounting rails for removable U-Line parts bins
• Several U-Line bin sizes available, including longer double-width bins
• Compact enough to move while remaining extremely rigid during use
I also have a Forster case trimmer, Lee Perfect Powder Measure, digital and mechanical measuring tools, calipers, additional mounting plates, bins and other reloading/shop equipment available separately.
The Forster trimmer and other equipment can be mounted on the quick-change system, making it easy to change tools while keeping the work area organized. This is not simply a folding table with a press bolted to it. It was purpose-built as a heavy-duty modular workstation and has been used successfully for approximately 10 years. Normal cosmetic wear from use, but everything is solid and functional. Located in Bend, Oregon. Local pickup.
