Canuck223 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 So I got a call to trouble shoot a guys 1050, specificly crushed and missing primers. I found a few things he could do to smooth up the process. He had Henning size die that was sucking primers back in, causing chaos at the swager and a cascade of fail. We addressed those issues, One thing I noticed was his bench was fairly light and not fastened to the floor or wall, nor was it likely to be in the future. I suggested re-enforcing the top and loading it up with all the weight it could take to reduce shaking. Anyone else experience movement induced problems with a 1050??

CSEMARTIN Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) I need to stay out of these 1050 discussions. Edited October 1, 2011 by CSEMARTIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Melville Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Mine is on a office desk, bolted to a 3 foot square sheet of 1 inch fibreboard place on top of the desk. It did shake too much, so I put 90lbs of lead just forward of the press mount, and it works perfectly (literally never misses a beat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdpaz Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Anyone else experience movement induced problems with a 1050?? Yes. I had a table bolted to the wall that still shook and had regular primer feed issues. Stacking about 60 lbs of bullets on the table next to it helped quite a bit. I had a steel stand built just for the 1050 that absolutely does not shake and now I don't have any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalaur Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 My RL1050 is bolted to a 24"x12" .5" think aluminum plate, which is bolted to a 1" particle board desk, which is bolted to the wall. The table shakes away from the wall a little here and there depending on if you hit a hard stroke or something. I haven't had the press very long, (about 7K rounds), but have had only a few crushed primers due to having the white shell holder out of adjustment. Zero sideways/upsidedown/nofeed issues.

noylj Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Yes, all progressive presses need a rigid bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 You cannot make the mounting set up to strong. Every operation of the press will be improved with an ultra-strong bench/press mounting set up. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38superman Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 This is how you do it. 2 in square x 1/8 thick tubular steel legs. Table top is 7ga steel framed out with 3x3x1/4 angle iron. Bottom shelf is 7ga plate on a 3" channel iron frame. Legs are leveled by 1" jack bolts and then the table top is attached to the wall with 3/8 lag bolts.

punxsutawn Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I had primer issues until I built a rock solid bench. Mine has a .250" steel plate top supported by 2X2" angle legs with cross bracing all around the base. I was going to anchor it to the floor, but at this point, there is no need. I have very few primer issues these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
