I'm looking for ideas on a loading bench build. I will have 2- MEC 9000H side by side utilizing the same pump. I will also have a 9000G and a Single Stage on it as well. I would like to drop finished shells through the bench to drawers below. I would have plastic bins for wads and casings one on either side of each 9000H. Any pictures or recommendations with measurement will be appreciated.
Here's one. I built it several years ago and really like it. Mod Edit: I deleted the link you posted as per the site rules. You can PM the link to anyone interested in those bench plans Flyersarebest moderator
You can get a countertop in 8' or 10' lengths from your local lumber yard. Doesn't need to be expensive. A formica top will work. I've used a 4x4 post for support legs.
All metal office desk’s work Great. You can find them on Facebook marketplace cheap or for free also craigslist.
Use a butcher block for the top. It's not cheap but well worth the money. DO NOT GLUE UP ALL THE SCRAP 2X4 IN THE SHOP IT TAKES FOREVER. Of course I did it this way!
This is my current reload table. It’s a Husky bench available at Home Depot. It is adjustable for height and very stable. I have several presses and just c clamp on the one on that I want to use. It’s available in different widths.
There are plans available from the National Reloading Manufacturers Association (I think) for a reloading bench. One thing I could recommend is to consider the mount that MEC sells that reloaders slide into after it's been mounted to the bench. Makes changing over reloaders a 15 second process. I used to try to have all my reloaders set up in the bench. That became impossible with my present inventory of eight reloaders. Another thought is to look for a solid core door at one of the big box stores.
