[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 606690, member: 39764"] I've considered building my own with threaded uprights to adjust the upper die holder to whatever height deemed necessary. Of course the ram would need adjustability as well, but easily overcome with internally threaded sections and locking collars and I'd machine the ram with an external rail that would engage the base plate and remove any radial flexing. Threaded stantions work well on stationary steam engines to tailor the output of the engine to a partuicular requirement. But then I own a real nice hydraulic arbor press with enough throat to load a 70mm Howitzer round, if I could find appropriate dies.....lightbulb 2 presses are bad enough here.... I have to remove them and stow them away because the loading bench serves duty as my layout bench and assembly bench when I'm assembling products made in the shop....... My gracious wife allows me to utilize the island in the kitchen for loading and bullet seating. That way, I'm close to the phone, computer and my customers plus the cat likes to watch the goings on.
