Inline Fabrication stuff?

I have known of them for a long while. Got ta use some few years ago with a person I was helping get set up reloading. Nice solid stuff!

Couple years back I was talking with a customer who was also setting up ta start reloading. My schedule allowed me ta stop back that evening. We enjoyed dinner and I helped set him up. He had a bunch of inline stuff. It stuck in my head.

Few weeks back I was loading and said "self" time ta upgrade! I was gifted a gift card and applied those funds there.

Last night I got a second box in and decided to film a bit.


Highly recomended!

I have been using it for some time and really like it. I use the base mounted in one of the prime spots on my bench with the other two occupied by my other Dillons. The spot usually held my single stage press but I also used it for mounting my shotshell presses. Because it was such a pain to unbolt my single stage and clear the bench to find the t-nut holes to mount my shotshell presses I rarely did it. I got tired of it and decided on the In-line fab stuff. I mounted the base and then got the adapter plates for the single stage press and my shotshell presses. I later added a plate for my Star lube sizer and even my Dillon 1050 when it came along. Now I can switch over to whatever I want in a few minutes and don't put off loading projects due to it being a PITA to remount a press.

If your loading bench is too low I can see the reason for one. But if your table height is good why add more clutter.

Kevin its the opposite of clutter!!

I had three presses on this bench. I occasionally use two at once just because they was there but very rarely. Now I have a better more solid QUICK CHANGE mount where every one of anything I use can be mounted front and center! Trimmer primer VICE Press anything!

To ight I made up a ACRA BIN rack mounted on rear of the riser in factory holes.

Its getting a coat of epoxy blk paint. And will get final mount once dry. Up off bench.

For me it wasn't the height, it was the ability to change out what tool I had at that location. In fact, all my tools just had the regular plate, don't have anything with a riser plate.
Excellent point I should also mention. Dan sells flush and surface mount plates that are also quick release.

Im mounting one of those to another bench next. That bench was built tall so dosent require the riser. But will allow space savings of a single press mount point. Where this 007 is now will be the flush mount.

So I can swap between my APP and this 007 if I need GC instal or cast bullet sizing.

CW, I trust what you say about their mounts, But the way I designed my bench, it wouldn't do me any good. If I were to start over, I'd surely consider them.

I mounted my Turret presses (and other presses) on a Turret bench, LOL.

My buddy does the same exact thing he has to old-school telephone spools with presses always around. Ha!

EDIT;

Got the latest addition all painted and assembled!

Fun Fact:
The Turret bench is setup in a 2nd floor bedroom. I put the spool in there, it barely fit through the door. A year later, I decided to finish the top so it'd look pretty as well as fill any holes, so cases and primers wouldn't fall through. I ended up putting a layer of 1/4" thick nice plywood over the top, as my other attempts to pretty up the top failed.
.
Years later, I wanted to move the turret bench out of that room. After I did all the work of removing all the presses, I learned that the spool wouldn't fit through the door, without removing the door and the door trim. I waited a day to do all that, and the more I thought about it, I scrubbed those plans and just left it in there, the way it was...LOL.

I use the Inline Fabrication for my RL550, my only press. It replaced the Dillon Strong Mount. Previously I had the RCBS press like you have, CW, but it didn't see much use so sold it. I use my RL550 as a turret press rather than a progressive. Just my foibles ;)
You've got some nice shelving. I've found over the years that my wood-gnashing skills are marginal, and I find metal easier to work with.
Here's a recent photo of my setup though I've added another shelf under the dies for the caliber conversion kits:

I placed a small order for couple hangers & a plate for Hornady trim/Neck turn/Concentricity tools. Im gonna tack the bolts and use wing nuts as cant justify extra plates for such occasional use.
I was gifted a roller handle! So, I choose my Lyman American8 press.

I have one of these my one Dillon 550 and like it allot.

Anyone else using the ERGO Roller handle?

I have one of the short ones so I can swap between my turret and single stage. Gonna get a quick change bracket for my lube-sizer too.

i'm not 100% sold on the roller handles, but i have them on a couple of my presses.

i use a couple of riser plates to lift two of my presses and have the other two sitting on the bench.
it was the only way i could get 4 presses setup on the one bench and still have room enough for the bullets and brass between them.

i do the same in an even smaller area on the other bench.
the 650 being up high leaves me enough room next to it for a full rcbs setup [press, scale, powder dump] basically sitting in it's shadow.

i don't have anyplace to be putting a press that ain't mounted, i just gave the others away rather than letting them sit somewhere.

I just received a second handle for my one RC press.
I have one on one 550 as well from a while back.

They are from my neck of the woods. The guy that came out to repair my dishwasher is his neighbor. They shoot together on his property. He does make quality stuff.
