HotLoad Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I bought a gladiator work bench with wood top and it is rock solid. Believe it was from Sears, but I know u can buy them from other outlets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregdavidl Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Try Kennedy, they have several different models and you can get a maple butcher block top. The drawers are very sturdy and smooth, even when loaded down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 http://www.globalindustrial.com/t/work-benches This place has a truckload of different types of work benches and might be worth a look if only to get ideas about what you want or what options are available. These are real popular for industrial work and often can be had surplus for a fraction of the cost of new. I got a used butcherblock maple top bench for about 30 bucks at a surplus warehouse sale, so keep your eyes open for used ones, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noximus03 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I got mine from Sears with the butchers block top and the pegboard backing. Was cheaper than I thought it would be being Craftsman, but very pleased. Rock solid bench and plenty of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bshooter Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Sam's sells a 2" solid wood top table with steel legs, 1000# capacity I believe. I have two of them positioned in an ell shape.

sdm74 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) is this it?? if so that is an awesome price http://www.amazon.com/2x4basics-90164-Workbench-Shelving-Storage/dp/B0030T1BRE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347932282&sr=8-1&keywords=workbench Yes, that's it and goes together easy. But you have to supply the wood for it. If you know what size your gonna get, you can get home depot to cut up the legs and braces for you. Then I used a 4x8 plywood for the top. I also glued and screwed another higher quality 4x8 piece on top of that for the overlap needed for the dillon reloader. I also didn't add the middle bottom shelf that you see in picture, to allow for supplies and leg room. Edited September 18, 2012 by sdm74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also didn't add the middle bottom shelf that you see in picture, to allow for supplies and leg room. I was able to build a nice/solid bench using the 2x4 basics kit too. I used two 3/4" thick 3'x8' sheets for the top (MBF on the bottom and Oak on the top) and one 3/4" sheet for each of the two lower shelves. I went overkill on the aesthetics. It is in my house, so I treated it like a piece of furniture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodownzero Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Mine is made out of a scrap piece of countertop material, a piece of 1/8" thick angle anchored to the wall, and a single 4x4x8 that I cut into legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I just bought a bench from menards(semi local lowes type store.) It is all precut lumber you just have to assemble and stain it. Seems really easy. The bench is huge. 6'* 30" I think. Im going to put it together tonight. It was only $65, saves alot of headache. I might put another solid board on top though as it comes with 4 separate 2*6 for the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using the same bench from menards works well and is heavy duty enough have 2 650's, a 550 and a Rock Chucker mounted on mine very sturdy. Will eventually put a solid top on it. Also thought about this bench may just get one to add alongside the menards bench. http://www.harborfreight.com/60-inch-workbench-93454.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Stack-On makes a nice reloading bench. Not sure how the price compares thou, but worth checking out. jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 These look pretty stout - and the price is right !! http://www.samsclub.com/sams/ultra-heavy-duty-workbench/prod1490086.ip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cguy1177 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 That's a great workbench but I found it a little narrow and tall. So it was a little tippy and put the casefeeder pretty close to my low ceiling for me. If you anchored it to the wall and made a bottom shelf loaded with lead it would probably be good, but I ended up making a small, shorter stout bench out of 2 by 4's with a loaded up bottom shelf. YMMV and again it's a great deal for the price for a workbench.

silerlock Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Check out Grizzly tools. They have some really nice woood working benches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJR05 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I've got the Sam's Club model listed above. To solve the tippiness when loading, I made a "headboard" from a 2x6 sitting firmly along the back edge of the table and anchored this to the wall. Zero tippiness now. On this "headboard" I mounted a long outlet strip. Didn't need to anchor the table itself to the wall. I have a 550 with strong mounts and it's near the perfect height for standing to reload. Sam's also carries 2 types of rollable/lockable storage cabinets that fit conveniently under the table. Highly recommended setup. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMJ Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I picked up a Stack-On bench but didn't pay the "reloading bench" premium and got an extra drawer for my trouble. Good enough for now and it will do other duty in the future. I set up my RockChucker on the end vs the front to use the width of the bench for stability and it has worked well but I'm not full-length resizing rifle cases at this point. Sometimes shopping at the BORG pays off. $199 regular price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
