Serious Reloading Bench Solutions From Inline Fabrication
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 янв 2023
- Our early reloading benches and reloading areas were always a conglomeration of add-ons with random press mounting. But as we grew in our reloading practices and procedures, the hodge podge became unwiedly. With better organization learned, our latest reloading areas and benches can be much more efficient in space and motion. Let's look at the solutions offered by Inline Fabrication in this video...

When I kept adding new presses in the 1990s, I kept building longer tables. Your Inline fabrication system makes it possible to fit my obsession into a smaller footprint! Great product 👌
What the heck, no left over parts& pieces!!! Iam impressed Steve. Good job. From Joe Bush, Saskatchewan Canada boy!! Nice learning from you!!
I’m glad I’m not the only Inline Fabrication junkie! LOL I bought one plate for my Dillon 550 years ago just to try it out and now I have the quick change setup plates on all my presses. Inline Fabrication makes a quality product that is second to none. Worth every penny.
Denny - Couldn't have said it better - I think the reason I'm making these videos is for all the new reloaders out there - might as well start with the best system - saves a lot of hassle later. Best to ya, Steve
A nice large flat washer under cabinet greatly improves strength. Nice system
Ryobi has come up in recent times. Even though I have Milwaukee drills and drivers, I wouldn't hesitate to use a newer Ryobi.
64samsky - I'm on the same boat - I have Milwaukees, but never hesitate to grab the Ryobis for whatever I'm doing. Best Regards, Steve
I love the tongue and cheek of the “trash” tools! Those are nice to read mount plates. I will have to look up my neighbor here in the Oregon territory. Nice benches too!
KB - I want to visit the Inline Fab factory at some point, myself... meet all the great folks there.... Have a great day, Karson - Steve
I just retired and started reloading this year and I personally want to thank you for all the videos you have put out over the last 10+years. It has helped me quite a bit. Thanks again for the effort!
Len S - I'm very glad to have been of help and congratulations to you on your still young reloading run...!! Continued good reloadin' to ya, Steve
After years of reloading with presses mounted to boards secured to the table top with clamps I finally invested in the flush mount quick change system last year. I absolutely love it! Another benefit is once you have the base plates for all your presses, you can get the storage racks to organize the equipment that isn't currently in use. You could probably mount a couple of those to the side of the rolling cabinet for easy storage. It's easy to underestimate how secure these feel until you've actually worked with them mounted to a solid bench. Happy reloading!
Inline Fabrication stuff is SERIOUS! If something is flexing or moving it's your bench. I've got alot of his stuff and everything is very well designed and very well made and finished.
Hi from Sweden, I have used inline QD plates for my dillons etc for years now. Very good stuff. I also got their random plate for whatever gear and put it on my vice and other random gear.
Hagge Banke - Hail to Sweden where resides all you fantastic Swedes..!! No Fjords, but lots of chilly coastline... I love the Swedes, and the Aussies, and the Norwegians, and the Finns, and the English and the Continentals, lots of different people from every continent of the Hot Lead Zone... And a very fine year to you, Steve
@@FortuneCookie45LC We might not have fjords, but we do have those coastlines with the worlds largest archipelago. tens of thousands of islands all over the place 👍👍 Also a lot of 6.5x55 😉😉
Nice reloading bench!👏🏻💯🙌🏻
Thanks, Brian - and we'll put 'em to good use.... Best Regards, Steve
Detailed and creative... Thank you for sharing btw like how you use trash and assembled your goodies. XD
They do an amazing job with their products. I have some of them and will most likely purchase more in the future. Nice video as always.
Love that quick connect on the trashy riobi drill.
Wannabe - Yes, I really like that rascal myself... slick. Have a great day, Steve
Great video. I did the same thing with a rolling tool cabinet and In-line products to create my reloading bench in Florida. Retired a few years ago and I had three reloading benches that supported seven different presses in my basement up north. I had to consolidate cause there are no basements in Florida and In-line solved space issue. I even spoke to Dan at In-line because I have an old Herter's dual piston press that I wasn't sure if he made a bracket for it ....and he did! He also has great storage brackets for the presses and a bin storage system for reloading components. In-line is a great American company.
I added an IF roller handle and riser mount (~9.7") to my Hornady Lock n' Load single-stage press years ago. They make a good press excellent. This is the only press I use except for depriming, so I don't have a need for swappable plates.
I’m doing the same thing, but with a 46” Yukon from Harbor Freight. Dan makes some good stuff!
Jerry Howell - That 46" Yukon will certainly do nicely... And if your needs grow, you can add another later... Best Regards, Steve
I've used a Craftsman bench top for over 30 years of reloading.
Inline Fabrication Ultramount risers are a better option for those plates. The risers eliminate any flex to the benchtop and allows you to mount your presses over the drawers.
I always like your videos, keep them coming
KH - Thanks for commenting, Karl..!! Best Regards, Steve
I just got the same Husky box for Christmas! 😊 awesome!
We love our InLine Fab gear and Husky cart! 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸
Walter - Thanks for commenting, Walter - we can sure get a lot of good mileage out of these.... Have a great Central Coast day... Steve
I love their stuff. All my presses use their mounting plates except for my Dillon equipment. I use the flush mount plate with just the 1/4" spacer for the mounting, plenty of room without the spacer to mount presses. Those people are great and customer service is first notch.
Ken Fischmann - I'm in the process of shifting my Dillons to the Quick Mounts as we speak... Good reloadin' to ya, Ken... Steve
I am a big fan of inline stuff, I did a redo of my loading room a few years ago and installed new benches. I used the inline elevated stand for my vintage Bair Kodiak press and also changed out the stock handle for a new inline handle. She is just as good and maybe a little bit better than the day I purchased her over 60 years ago.
20+ yrs ago when I first started reloading I came up with a similar idea of using a rolling Husky tool cabinet as a mobile bench which I still use to this day. I lived in an apartment at the time so had no bench to mount anything to and also very little money and it was the only way I could think of to get into reloading. Even now I find the ability to roll that cabinet out of the way and put it anywhere I want it is a nice convenience since my garage is usually either too hot or cold and have no free room in my house that I can dedicate to use as a gun/reloading room/man cave. Maybe they had these types of mounts 25 years ago, but I never saw them until a much more recently. If I had them back then it would have allowed me to have a lot more versatility and ease of mounting different things on my bench. My press and other tools were were mounted on blocks of wood bolted to the cabinet top to get the clearance I needed over the lip on the top of the cabinet and to stiffen the mounting so the equipment wouldn't flex. I really like these mounts and have since modified my mobile bench with them and can now change out presses or other mounted tools and keep the ones I'm not using stored out of the way. These mounts are more than just a mere convenience when you have limited space and are truly a very useful necessity. Thank you Mr. Cookie for another great video as usual.
This was a great video keep them coming !!!!😊
JM - Thanks for taking the time to post, John.... Steve
I love my Inline Fabrication mounting system, riser and accessories. Now if only components would go back to being reasonably priced so I can enjoy my hobby again.
CT - With the inflation, that will probably not be in the cards, but supplies should return eventually. We're seeing powders that were scarce come back. Let's celebrate when the primers are on the shelves again... Best Regards, Steve
I have the inline set up as well . But I set up a docking station they hold 13 press and I have room for 3 more . On my work bench I have 2 press stations so when I decide which caliber I’m going to load I just grab the press needed . This gives me a lot of extra room on my work bench . Great stuff
John Bailey - You might wonder why I have so many different stations on my rolling benches... gotta have variety in the making of videos... Good reloadin' to ya, John - Steve
John,
Would like to see a picture of your docking station.
Any chance you can post it on any forum you use?
ASSRA is a good one.
TIA

In line is the best. They even made a mounting plate for my Pacific shotgun reloader, for the same price as one in production.
I see moving to Washington has brought the sarcasm out of you already. Hope to see you around town some day.
I had to design, fabricate and weld up several heavy duty steel stands for tooling at work. One was for a torque wrench test and calibration station where they are cranking on it in excess of 250 ft/lbs. I ended up using 1/2" plate steel for the top and bottom and 3"x 3" 1/4" square steel tubing for the vertical upright. I welded it up using my Miller Millermatic 252 MIG welder using .035" wire. I used four 1/2"x 4 1/4"" Red Head Trubolt wedge concrete anchors to secure it to the floor. The pattern is a "I" pattern and takes very little floor space keeping all of your tooling or presses individually mounted as stand alone systems. They cranked the crap out of that sucker and it didn't budge. I have started making a few for myself and buddies for mounting reloading presses. They work well if you have ran out of floor space for more benches and tool boxes. I currently have 5 reloading presses.......Dillon RL-550B, Dillon XL-750, RCBS Rock Chucker, Lee #90045 Breech Lock, MEC 9000GN....
JD - You are handy for sure..!! Your test and calibration station sounds like just the thing... and for reloading, sounds like a great setup. You have some fine presses for your reloading... Thanks for posting this comment... Steve
@@FortuneCookie45LC
Thank you!
This type of mounting system would come in handy if you wanted to mount a extra press off the end of your main reloading bench or roll away toolbox. It would be extremely heavy duty and right next to the others without giving up a bunch of extra floor space building another bench or adding additional toolboxes. I have the Dillon RL-550B, RCBS Rock Chucker and Lee #90045 Breech Lock mounted on my main reloading bench. The Dillon XL-750 is mounted off to the left side and the MEC 9000GN is mounted off to the right side on my steel stands. That saves me room on the bench for powder measures, scales, case trimmer, brass tumblers etc etc. By the way, when people start asking why I have multiple presses my answer is so I can load several different calibers without changing anything for awhile. If you are all setup to load .45 ACP and your buddy wants some .38 Specials nothing has to change saving time. The same for if you need to do a small test batch working up and proofing loads. Not the best thing to try to do on a progressive press with all the adjustments required while dialing in fine tuning it.
Dan makes amazing stuff, can't recommend his products enough.
You and me, for sure, Paul... Thanks for commenting, Steve
I bought the IN-LINE plates so I could move the new Hornady A/P press when necessary. It's nice to see quality fabrication like this.
your trolling on them pretty hard about Ryobi! I love it.
PatriotPreacher - and thanks to you for commenting, Best Regards, Steve
Looking forward to seeing how you complete the rest of your reloading shed.
Tim - Thanks, and a very fine year to you.... Steve
I use a Milwaukee bench but took the wheels off, and Inline Fab stuff rocks.
Wurlaby Scott - Wow, with the wheels off, these boxes would be like Gibraltar... Unfortunately, I need to be able to wheel these around as my shed does not have mega space. Thanks for commenting... Steve
Ha ha If I met you when you had worked hard all day moving, hadn't shaved in a week and were covered in dirty clothes Id still hug ya like a brother Steve. The amount of good knowledge you have passed on to others is priceless. Your a true ambassador to the shooting sports and reloading industry. I see the Power Tool brand fanboys have desecrated Ryobi . I have seen it all selling tools my whole life. Just realize small minds are fanboys of a brand of power tools. Each manufacturer makes some great and some bad tools. Don't let the haters get ya down.
That blower seems like the cats meow, I’ll have to look for one of those, I bet it would be real quick and handy for quick cleaning around the primer airier , ect. Thanks for showing
Indian Creek - There's no reason for running an air compressor with the Ryobi blower and if we need a vacuum, we have that also in lithium ion. I regard that blower as an essential item for anyone that runs any kind of bench. Then we can vacuum the floor as needed. Best Regards, Steve
That is a neat and portable set up! But, I would’ve used stout fender washers under the roll away’s top sheet metal.
When did you move to Seattle?? You wouldn’t remember me, but in retrospect I now realize that I probably met you at a few years ago at the range in the east bay. You were putting up some really small groups on a rifle. That was before I got into reloading and pursuing accuracy. The range treasurer Kevin said that you were a “regular.” Indeed!
Mike - Yes, I've been a regular at that range for decades; I've taken well over a couple tons of lead out of there and kept putting it back - gotta feed my 1911s and Rugers. However, there was a recent policy change whereby no lead will be allowed to be removed any longer. Oh well, I'll just have to buy my lead from the manager there, Bill - he can sell me lead by the brick. Or I can buy my lead from RotoMetals - higher cost, but it's not outrageous. I haven't moved yet so next time you see me, please come on over - I'll buy you a can drink or whatever, and we can chat... Have a great day, Steve
Nice setup
treesablowin - Thanks for commenting..!! A very fine year to you... Steve
I was thinking about ordering one of these Inline Fabrication mounting plates for a Redding T7 Turret press I am thinking about buying to add to my other presses. I would have to get adapters to fit both my RCBS Rock Chucker and the Redding T7 Turret to be able to swap them back and forth as needed.
I have the flush mount with two press plates it's a very strong mounting system. If you have any concerns with the wing nuts being able to hold the press especially on the up stroke. Maybe you could check out Johnny's reloading bench when he is test a Frankford Arsenal universal stuck case puller. Long story short , cheater pipe on the press handle and he breaks the tool , and never got the case out , but the press and the mount were like new. That was a sign me up moment.
John Hale - Didn't see that video from JRB, thought I've seen all of 'em....but that doesn't surprise me at all. Tools can break at the bottom linkages - The metal parts there are complex castings with stress and fracture lines - I did that with my Dillon 550B back when I was shooting IPSC...and Dillon just sent me a whole new press... Best to ya, Steve
Steve once again welcome to Wa. Have been looking to get some inline fabrication stuff.
Right now I have the Lee quick mount stuff.
PS: Are you serious with the Ryobi slam ?
The late great Dean Grennell would have put the base on with a c clamp. He is my favorite gun writer but he mounted everything with c clamps. As usual you do it right. What are you going to do for that shaking cart? I shave once a week either I need it or not...... Looking forward to the next video.
jb - No problem with the shaking tool chest as it only budged because I didn't have the wheels locked...once locked, the heavy box is stable. Best to ya, Steve
in line fab loves to pack things , i think they got a truckload of packaging and wrap for free !! all kidding aside they take pride in what they make and that shows even in the packaging . dan is great to work with , i talked to him on a couple of custom things i wanted . and the price on custom isn't bad at all ! and shipping is fast on custom stuff when i ordered mine . he does charge shipping on all custom stuff . but the price is still less than you would think . love all my inline fab stuff !!
tn reloaderguy - I just contacted him on some custom stuff - but he hasn't answered yet... Have a great day, Steve
Hi, what happened to your Lee six pack progressive press? Do you still use it?
Looks like a lot of overhand on the press when mounted. How much does the press flex on the downward stroke of the press.
Jon - Not enough to matter, you'll be seeing on some upcoming videos... plus for heavy jobs, I can always go with just the flush mount base and no risers. Good reloadin' to ya, Steve
Have you moved? Looks like you have a new redding ultra mag,that's a great press
KMJ - Have not moved yet, but the move is incremental. I'm currently back in CA, but the videos will keep rolling.... Best Regards, Steve
Great vid! If your church is using reloading equipment as offering receptacles, Im visiting!!
Shabbat Shalom!
Farmer Wayne - And Peace to you, FW..!! Ha, I wondered if anyone was going to pick up on that... Yes, I've done almost everything at the church, including usher... Have a great day, Steve
WOW THAT A LOT OF HEAVY METAL 👍looks great nice reloading bench.have a great time up north ✌️
Patrick - Thanks, Patrick and good reloadin' to ya, Steve
Just a minor quibble with your Ryobi tools: I'm going to recommend you replac/supplement the blower with their little vacuum. Instead of blowing all that dust who knows where, you suck it up and it's all cleaned up. As you know, Ryobi tools suck - and it will excel in this regard. We've had our Ryobi hand vacuum for many years now - top notch. Along with four Ryobi fans (keeping the dogs cool while at trials).
Any reason why you didn't go for their taller mounts straight away instead of using the flush mount with riser?
I was thinking the same thing about the vacuum.
The reason I finally bought those trash Ryobi is because they use the same battery platform for the last 30 years. I’ve got three other obsolete battery platforms from other manufacturers in my shop and have discarded a couple more.
Most of my Ryobi tools still work but my drill just wouldn't work one day. The battery powered the other tools but not the drill, none of the other batteries would either. So I won't argue about Ryobi quality.
Use wood T-nuts. They make installation of the bolt easy. Plus you can take it apart to install at a later date just as easy. No bending down to fi d the bolts to put nuts on.
Adam A - OK on the T-nuts - I have to get a hold of some tres vite... Best to ya, Steve
Dude, you kept saying Ryobi is trash, but there are so many "trash" in your shop. It was your own decision to purchase the "trash"! LMFAO.
I'm a Ridgid man, myself. I've been known to use anything contracting, but for personal use I only buy Ridgid power tools and register for the free lifetime service agreement. I've probably saved myself $1000 easily on battery replacement and tool repair.
My cordless stuff is all Milwaukee M18 Fuel and Dewalt 20V Max.
Where I can buy this set .
Did you ever consider that maybe your drill bit is dull,and that your Ryobi drill isn't really trash?
👍🏻
MegaRiffraff - Big thanks to you, M... and a very good year to you... Steve

L.A. - And thank you huge... Best Regards to ya, Steve
I have my Lyman Spartan press permanently mounted on an 18-inch long piece of scrap 2X6 which I then C-Clamp to mt bench when I use it. Werks Fyne! And the Zero-Cash outlay can't get any better!
I wonder how much Ryobi pays him?
Works looking like hillbilly jerry rigged junk and clean, sturdy, heavy duty are two different things.
@@JohnDoeEagle1 So... do the improved aesthetics produce more accurate ammunition?
@@arthurdevain754
Actually they do when comparing wood to steel. Wood warps, is soft and moves/flexes. Heavy plate steel does not and is much more precise.
I used a Harbor Freight wood 4 drawer work bench
What is this "three circles" thing?
Does Ryobi make a reloading press? Hope not! Haha
You need a Ryobi vacuum cleaner. Now you've got sawdust all over the place! Thanks, FC!
Luvta Handload - LOL, LH, LOL..!! Thanks for posting, Steve
Drills work better when not in reverse
Ryobi is Lee where Milwaukee is Redding. Does Lee stuff work? Yes! Is it as good as Redding? Depends on your definition of better.
Andrew - Thanks, Andrew - you have the perspective..!! And we'll trot out some Milwaukee stuff before too long... Have a great day, Steve
👍
Tom McQueen - Thanks, Tom...much appreciated. Best Regards, Steve
I would have clamped the plates into position before drilling, inserting screws and tightening as I went...
GERALD F. - Yes, Indeed - however, I didn't have my long panel clamps up there in WA state with me, so I winged it - turned out fine. Best Regards, Steve
Great system.
Paul305 - And a system we can really like and work with.... Best to ya, Steve
Hey fellow Washingtonian

Swap out that top for butcher block, make it Excellent
Robert Reynolds - I'll do that if the supplied 1" thick top ever fails on me. For now - I've got a lot of bolts running through there. Have a great day, Steve
Cookie….
If you are going to use the riser why not mount it on the front so you have access to all the tool box drawers while your working ….?
A drop of crazy on the washer will hold it in place while you start the nut
We were fishing the kelp beds off Point Loma. On the way back to the bay, I was trolling and hooked into something big. It spooled me north, then south and dove to the bottom. The gears stripped out in my reel .... RYOBI is trash!!!
I like the slip in idea for reloading presses. I built my own using a piece of 4x4. The length is the width of the bench. I built a shelf on the back of the bench and then I just slide the back of 4x4 under the shelf with the Dillon Square Deal-b mounted to the front. A small bar clamp holds it firmly in place. I have several and I just change the press by sliding out one press and 4x4 and replacing it with another. I took the bench shelf/parts bins idea from Mark Rober RUclips NASA engineer whiz. ruclips.net/video/hFZFjoX2cGg/видео.html
CallawayKen - I first saw a Mark Rober video with his package thief bombs. He is one of the most creative on RUclips for sure...!! Best to ya CK.. Steve
Did you move?
TJ - Not yet, still in CA, but the move is in the works... Best to ya, Steve
You feelin' okay, Cookie? What's with the "Ryobi is TRASH!" BS? Startin' to worry me, hoss....
Inline Fab. makes some great stuff.
You moved from Kali ? I dont know why? lol :)
I thought you lived in California. Did you move ?
Wannabe - Still in CA, but the move is in the works... Best Regards, Steve
All this and sarcasm too?? Poor, poor Ryobi.
Call me ‘Crazy’ but…..I’m sensing some sarcasm now and again.
I watch your videos fairly religiously and love them! However, I din't need the Ryobi plug... those are fine for homeowner use, but they are a joke for a contractor use...
ryobi is junk, hes got that right
Russ Stockton - That was just a link to Vince who does all those fantastic tool videos. I agree that contractors need more serious tools than Ryobi. I'll be trotting out other tools in my videos from time to time. And eventually, all the companies will be featured including Milwaukee, Makita, and DeWalt among others. Best Regards to you, and thanks for commenting - Steve
Husky tool boxes like this one come from Home Depot. Sears also used to sell Craftsman models just like it. You can also go to Harbor Freight and get a U.S. General that is the same thing. Actually I think U.S. General makes them for everybody else and sticks their logo on the box. They are identical in every single way if you carefully examine them.
JD - I recall a comparison video that seemed to conclude that the US General boxes were even a bit better than the Husky...but if US Gen makes 'em for all, then no matter... Best to ya, John, and thanks for commenting - Steve
@@FortuneCookie45LC
Not sure why people spend thousands on Snap-On or MAC toolboxes. These will do everything you want to do with it for about 1/3 the price. The theory I have about U.S. General making them is just a hunch. I have a bunch of old Sears Craftsman roll away toolboxes I bought decades ago when I was tooling up and buying tools regularly for my home garage. I go in many years later to Harbor Freight and see their U.S. General toolboxes.....well I'll be! Sure looks very very close and too close to not be. They are even the same shade of red and have the same style drawer latches. Sears is bankrupt and out of business around here as all the stores closed quite a few years ago. If I was buying a new toolbox I would go to Harbor Freight or Home Depot to get the Husky or U.S. General nowadays.
Yep! I agree.... Ryobi is trash.... that why that is all I own and use!
Michael Dunn - When it does the job for us, and holds up for more - it's just plain good... and the cost brings a smile... Best Regards, Steve

Just joking and thank you for this review I have the Ultramount and it is exquisite. I kinda wish I had gotten a quick change system though. But it isn't too late. I can repurpose the Ultramount.
Great 21 minute commercial for Inline Fabrication and Ryobi. Now let me understand, you move from a anti 2nd amendment state to another anti 2nd amendment state.

how long until your local authorities confiscate everything you own, I love your videos but no sympathy for putting yourself out there like this, dont give away your area or location
Sorry, stopped watching the 15 time i heard babbling about ryobi. Point was made move on with the narrative.
