Another reloading bench

Recommended Posts

Someone asked about the new bench I was working on for my reloading room. Didn't find the thread with a quick search so here you go.

It is 3/4" box tube that makes up a 5" truss making it quite strong an still light enough I won't mess up the wood floor. The adjustable padded feet also help out.

Couldn't fit all of the most used equipment on at one time so there is a bottom shelf to hold them and an air compressor a friend gave me. It came out of a dentist office so it puts out quite a bit of air and is super quite.

Still needs finish work and paint but you can get the concept.

A few questions about the compressor. Its a jun-air unit that is 230 volt and took a step up transformer to 230v so its ran from 110v. Takes 62 seconds to fill the 5 liter tank from empty to 140 psi and 6 seconds to recover from 125 psi to 140 when you use it. It has a regulator for output pressure from zero to full pressure and the tank drain be adjusted for time to turn on from "off" to 22.5 min of run time.

The transformer is the gray "box" at the top left of the 2nd photo.

Added two outlets at one end and 3 quad boxes for everything. The two switches control the table. The one on the left is for the air compressor and the one on the right shuts everything else down.

The paint wasn't my first choice but you have to give in to the gals every now and then, hammer tone brown. Should look OK once in the room.
