Hey I love the setup and am copying it, what sized screws did you use to anchor the vice to the board?
👍👍👍👍👍
Vice on the mag? That just for show or actually how you’re supposed to do it? I have no idea asking to learn
You mean the set up to just get by, those are not optimal tools by any means not to mention headspace gauges and more
I did it the hard way with a framing hammer, utility knife, and a screw driver… Oh also some masking tape to protect the lower from the hammering
Nice setup! My Studio's kitchen counter hardly has any overhang so I have to go a different route. Harbor has a $35 bench grinder stand-type of frame where you can add your own top. Takes up floor space & I'll just have a tool stand hanging out in my apartment 😂But I'll be able to work on my upper & get back into reloading.
Hey man, great set up. What bolts and washers did you use to fasten the vice to the wooden board? I have the Central Machinery 4' swivel vice from Harbor Freight and would like to mimic your setup. Thanks!
I think 90% of home builders have that exact same punch set. It works. 🤠
Back when I lived in an apartment I built a similar setup, and it works well for your reloading press
