    Track Installed, Presses Mounted

    I'm wintering in Ocala, Florida and I set up a reloading bench in our cargo/storage trailer. Back home I have a 50yd range out in the woods, here I have to drive twenty minutes to a FWS range so it's not too bad. I'll only reload for 9mm, 45ACP and 223Rem. If I find a cheap source for lead I'll start casting down here next year.

    That’s a nice setup..... I want to do a mini version of that for a hunting trailer.

    I almost went that way. I liked the clean look when I need the whole bench.

    I have a 6 foot long work bench in my shop if I need that. My in line mount does come off easy.

    Cool setup. I'm not a wood worker. What type of router bit did you use to cut the groove for the T-track?

    I'm certainly not a woodworker either
    I bought a used plunge router at a flea market for $20. Lowe's has router bits. the T-track is 3/4" wide so I bought an inexpensive 3/4" carbide router bit, $20 or less I think.
    I also got a 1X2X6 poplar board (Lowe's) and two C-clamps (Harbor Freight). The board I used as a straight edge guide.

    I'm glad I got the carbide bit because I ran into three screws hidden in the bench top! I finished the two cuts but I really dulled the bit.
    I made my two cuts at the full 1/2" depth. My only recommendation is once you have tighten the bit in the router as tight as you can - get a bigger wrench and tighten it up another quarter turn. About 18" into my first cut my router bit loosened up and damn near went thru the bench top. I'm handy but, not a woodworker.

    Steve that’s a cool set up. I’ve thought about doing the T track too but just haven’t brought myself to doing it yet. Your bench looks great.
