Anyone here using a pedestal mount for their press, rather than bolting it to a bench?
I was thinking that rather than building a big, heavy, hell-for-stout bench, I'd use a length of box-section steel and two plates, along with some floor anchors. Bulk components, tools, scales etc could be kept on a nearby regular-duty bench or in a cabinet.
Of course, since a pedestal doesn't give you much horizontal storage space, this would make the most sense with a progressive press, where all the components are held in/on the press - powder in the dispenser, cases in a case feeder, primers in tubes, bullets in a bin hanging on one side of the press, and finished rounds going into a bin on the other side of the press.
Any thoughts?
