Finally got the parts and installed. What a wonderful addition. You're right. Lee Precision should at least offer these as an optional accessory if not in the kit. Thanks so much, Vaughn Precision.
You can buy knobs such as 19710B for fairly cheap. They don't stick up as much and no need to mess with epoxy. If you need the knob to stick up a bit higher, just add a nut or two as a spacer. The threaded portion is a bit too long, so you'll have to drill into the table or cut off the excess.
Michael Reamy Hahahaha, that would actually be a very boring video. It’s just some cases that have damage due to improper die set up, bullet depth to deep and some cases that show to much pressure.
I’m getting back into reloading and have two Lee presses I need to mount. Looking for videos about the Lee install I saw your video. I fully intend to do the upgrade you suggest in the video! What I would like to know is what are the dimensions of that base plate in your video? As a subscriber I would appreciate if you could provide me those dimensions. Thank you for your time and I look forward to watching more of your reloading tips.
Tim Farley I wanted the knob to be above the rails. I bought some shorter ones and they were to low, hands hit the rails and it was a pain to use. So I got the longer ones
I went with hex head shoulder screws (www.mcmaster.com/94496A480/), with flat washers and split lock washers. The advantage to the hex head approach is that the screws can be readily snugged down. The potential downside is that a 5/8” wrench/socket is required.

Nice video! Bench plate kit is not worth fooling with without this upgrade!
Great idea! I have a bench plate on order, and I'll be including this upgrade. Thanks for the tip!
I took apart an old exercise bike and the seat had a thru bolt like that, I just used it for my Lee load all 2 reloader. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the tip!
Now you owe us a video about the contents of the box that sits on the shelf above marked "Reloading Failures."

Get a hold of Lee, "sell them" your idea!!! Nicely done
Joe S I should huh..!
Yes you should, what's the worse that they will say. They should eat it up and give you something for it. You may think I'm joking...but I'm not.
That’s brilliant
Very cool upgrade. I'm surprised they haven't added this yet.
Excellent upgrade!
Not a good idea. A GREAT idea! 👍💪🇺🇸
Good video just Ned a list of items & where to get ‘Em I can make them myself thanks
Great video, I will be implementing this with me Lee mounting kit as well. Question though, where did get the caps you glued on the shouldered bolts?

Great Idea! What is the thread pitch? M6? M8? Length?
Found the shoulder bolts on Grainger, but not having luck with the "caps" you have a part number or description?
Iam unable to find your locktite epoxy heavy duty hardener ........where can I find it
Did you ever make these for sale on your website?
Thanks for your info on the epoxy by loctite.......Iam changing setup on the my plates----how long are the bolts that you set-up on your press.
carlos luna 2 inch I think
Hi
Em what Thread is the ohne from the Little screw
Been so long I don’t remember. Take the factory screw to the hardware store and they will be able to tell you
What size screw?
Where did you find the plastic knobs?
I found them at Tacoma Screw. I suspect you can find them online at Fastenal
Anybody know if this works with the Loadmaster without any interference?
What size bolt did you use and do you have a link to them?
Quarter inch bolts.
I want some, you selling?
Is there a reason you selected such a long shoulder bolt?
Tim Farley I wanted the knob to be above the rails. I bought some shorter ones and they were to low, hands hit the rails and it was a pain to use. So I got the longer ones
I knew there was a logical reason. :)
Iam unable to find locktite epoxy heavy duty hardener and rein in the 4oz.......can help me out

Have you contacted them at leeprecision.com yet?
You should have held onto this until you got a patent and sold the rights to lee
I may actually make some and sell them on my website, this little item hack was WAY more popular then I ever expected!
👍 I have a bench plate coming
