hondaman Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The base of the 1050 is so small. Seems there would be torquing issues. Does anyone make a strong base/mount for the 1050, or is it not necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angus6 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Shoudn't be a issue mounted on a flat even surface. I built a mounting plate for mine that allows me to rotate the press 90° left or right or 180° for working on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill M Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I haven't had an issue yet, even running 308 through. A good sturdy level base and everything should work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradhe Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 My bench is a little old and flexy so I screwed mine to a 12x12x1" steel plate and then bolted that down. No movement at all. That said, I had the plate and a mill. Double thickness of plywwod might help as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck223 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Build your bench well, and it's not an issue. Mine is a doubled piece of 3/4 inch plywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angus6 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Angus 6 picture please of you swivel mount Pretty simple but not a swivel, everything is 3/8", circled are 6 set screws to hold plate inplace. Someday I'll paint it and drill divets on all sides for the set screws Edited March 2, 2012 by angus6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Build your bench well, and it's not an issue. Mine is a doubled piece of 3/4 inch plywood. That is the biggest issue with the small footprint of the 1050. If the benchtop is too thin, it will flex... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linear Thinker Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) When I got my 1st 1050, I mounted it on a 3/4" plywood workbench. I was getting quite a workout while reloading, flexing the whole bench. My forearm looked like Popeye's after a year or so (no spinach needed). I eventually figured out what was happening, and bolted the press to a butcher-block topped bench. It's been rock-solid ever since.

freakshow10mm Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Yup. Solid top is all you need. My bench top is 1.75 inches thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhe Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 No, I threaded holes in the middle front edge of the plate for the 1050 and then through holes in each corner for 3/8 bolts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGN Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Do a search on inline fabrication. Their web site is inlinefabrication.com. I'm 5'10" and ordered the 4" ultramount. It is perfect for me. The press is as solid as a rock since it doubles the footprint on the bench. If you're taller than I am; you might then want to order the 6" ultramount. The people in this company are very courteous and professional. The instructions are very detailed. It took me about 2 minutes to set it up. This was a very good investment. Another thing I got that I'm very happy about is the micrometer, since I like to experiment with different powders. I ordered it from a company called Unique Tek in Arizona (uniquetek.com). I chose to have them install it and am very happy I did. It is an extra $15 but worth every penny! I can now switch from one powder to another and have stored the settings in a spreadsheet. Hence, it only takes me seconds to set it up. That was another good investment!! If you own a Super 1050; you should really get both of the above-mentioned products. Good luck, Nick Edited September 24, 2015 by NGN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd7446 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Hope I'm not breaking the rules here. The Inline Fabrication parts are great. Everything I've bought from Dan has been top-notch. That said, I have a 1050 Ultramount and 1050 Ergo handle that I'm not using any longer (both like new). If you're interested, shoot me a PM.
