[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 549586, member: 25383"] I mount all my presses with a bottom washer plate on the underside of the bench. The RCBS type of press tries to pull itself off the top of the bench under extreme pressure, and by bolting the press to a 1/2" CRS steel plate with a ten gauge bottom plate you stop that problem. My Forster is bolted down to a riser I built out of aluminum I Beam with a plate welded top & bottom. The top plate has steel Keenserts installed for peace of mind, and the bottom plate is held to the bench with 3/8" carriage bolts. I've probably built two dozen setups like the CRS steel ones over the years and that stops all the issues. Always punched a square hole to make the carrieage bolts seat solid. gary [/QUOTE]
