Reloading Press Mount Question

[OSOK1776]

I have now, 2 RCBS Turret Presses and would like to mount them both on my reloading bench. My issue is that I would like to "lift" them and mount them towards the rear of my bench, vs mount them off the side as most people do. I have been browsing "reloading bench" galleries for about 6 hours, and nothing great has popped up yet.

With that said I would like to get folks ideas on what they would do to resolve this issue without having to buy 2 of these -

Now if I could find something like that for a inexpensive price, I would jump on it.

The other option I am considering is to get one of these and mount a press on each side and then just have it off to the side of my table.

Well. You Could just build a thick shelf on the back of the bench, two uprights and a shelf across them. Mount them to that. Probably would need to be made more sturdy using thicker lumber, built as a box on it's side or with cross pieces, etc.

Here are two shots of my first reloading bench. The box the press is mounted on was originally part of a set of decorative shelving units. I found it at the local Goodwill store. I drilled a few holes for the bolts, et voila!

That pedestal is only big enough for one press. Any press you use will either have to be mounted at the front because the lever goes below the level of the desk or mounted higher on something on top of the table if you want it closer to the back. However it is not easy to service the press if it is near the rear of the table.
I ended up mounting mine on a thick 1x12 peice of finished hardwood and clamped it to the right front corner of my counter top using 3 C-Clamps so I could take it off for storing when not in use. Also made a 2nd setup with my shotgun press. Ended up adding a single stage press to the board that has the progressive on it also. Been using it that way for the last 2 years with no issues.

Would something like Pat Marlin's Rock Dock work for you? - http://www.patmarlins.com/

I bolted mine (Lyman Spar-T turret) to a 10 inch piece of 2X6 and C-clamp it to my bench. Did the same with my Lyman Lubri-sizer. I'm limited on space where I load so this works great for me.

If you can cover your bench with some masonite and use 2 sizes of hole saw to create plugs, you can make a versatile set up with the tools mounted on 2x6", 2x4' scrap, an whn you need a flat surface, replace the plugs.

Bolt to a 2X6 and clamp to bench. Easy and removable if you have another project that you need the space for. Did the same for a zip trim and powder measure. Have a packing table from ULINE as the bench. Strong and sturdy.

I've got the franklin stand mount (the plastic one that was pictured). Originally had it because i didn't have a bench and used it combined with a flat-topped rolling toolbox.

Even with the reloading bench I've built, since that time. I still use the stand, pretty often. I swap out my single-stage between the table mount and the portable mount, depending on what I'm doing.

If you have 2 presses, I'd say having one portable might be nice. Considering getting another one myself, but probably spending too much on other crap lately, and I don't load high-volume.
