Hammer1 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Assume a totally assembled ready-to-load Dillon reloading machine stored on a shelf. Not bolted down - but just waiting to be bolted onto a work bench to load. What is the total shelf space needed for one ? 550 without case feeder ? 650 without case feeder ? 650 with case feeder ? 1050 with case feeder ? Assume the 550 and 650 are assembled on Dillon strong mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer1 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Thank you very much. Just to clarify.... The information is on the tool height. The square footage on the shelf itself... Is that 13 inches by 13 inches ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meyer23 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I believe that's what he means at the bottom where it says 12-13". I think it's a little wider than deeper. Are you trying to make/buy something that is almost the exact size of the base/strong mount you're going to bolt down?

Hammer1 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 I have a good solid bench perfect for having one reloading machine with work space on either side. But I am lazy and want to have several reloading machines ready-to-go by just moving them into the proper space and bolting them down. Would store the unused presses on the bench but pushed against the wall. Or stored on shelves. Realize that the bench holes for bolts will have different patterns for the 1050 versus the 650 or 550.

Meyer23 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) I think the bolt pattern for the 550/650 are the same. The 1050 I'm guessing as I don't have one is different. You'd have to drill 8 holes which I wouldn't think would be that big a deal. Edited July 24, 2015 by Meyer23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icestud Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Look into Inline Fabrication they offer a Quick Change press mounting system http://inlinefabrication.com/collections/quick-change-press-mounting-system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdinga Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I keep several presses on smart mounts that are screwed into 3/4 plywood. I can mount them quickly with c clamps and still keep one of bench tops open when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 550 bolted directly, SD with strong mount, big difference in footpring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightMurse Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I recall seeing a set up where the presses were mounted to a piece of plastic that was dovetailed into a slot on the bench. I will look around and see if I can find it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellslinger Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 +1 on Inline. Their products are great and the quick change plates are 2 wing nuts and you swap out machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimk60 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Saw this over at The Firing Line http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=564919 About half way down the page. Don't know if this was the one FlightMurse was talking about or not. I have seen several different DIY ideas in the referenced thread. Seems like a good DIY solution to your design problem.
