Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different mounting options for the Inline Fabrication Quick Change Press System?

The system offers several base plate options: a flush mount that requires routing into your bench, and raised options at 4, 7.5, and 9.75 inches. An optional spacer plate can also be used to mount directly on the bench surface without routing.

How does the Inline Fabrication Quick Change Press System ensure stability?

Stability is achieved through the secure mounting of the base plate to the bench and the use of wing nuts to fasten the top plate. Additionally, an adjustable set screw on the base plate eliminates any slop or movement between the base and the mounted device.

What kind of presses and tools can be used with the Inline Fabrication Quick Change System?

The system supports a wide range of reloading presses, including models from Lee, Hornady, Redding, Lyman, and RCBS. It also offers top plates for vices and other bench-mounted tools, allowing for quick and easy swapping.

What hardware is included with the Inline Fabrication Quick Change Press System?

The system typically includes countersunk Phillips head bolts and nylock nuts for through-bolting the base plate. However, it does not include wood or lag screws, which may be necessary depending on your bench construction and mounting location.
