Thread: What's a good bench height?

Normie

I finally got my shit together and took some pics of the progress so far for my new reloading bench.

The bench is made out of 40x40x3 rhs with two 300x300x25 steel plates welded to the top for mounting the presses on.
I ve drilled and tapped a series of threads for this purpose.

The dimensions of this bench are 900Lx460Wx800H which is a nice height to sit and reload at for me.
If I was to stand I'd be adding at least another 100mm to this height.

The bench is rock solid with no movement as is but I will bolt it to the floor and wall once it's in its final position.

I've found over the years that the less movement or flex there is in your press and it's mounts then the better and eaiser it is to get the feel of your press and therefore get better and more consistant reloads.

Next I'll add a wooden deck for the top and mount and level a solid platform for my ballance scales and add a powder thrower or two.

Mounted on the bench so far are two Lee Loadmasters and my 30yr old Lee Classic press with enough room to add my Forsters Co-ax press.

I'll post more pics once it's finished.



Cheers
Pete
