Question about mounting 650
Quote from Reloader on April 23, 2009, 10:31 pmI have a new Dillon 650 mounted on the 650 only strong mount part 22052. I built a new bench to mount it on. It's going in my office so my wife wanted it to look decent. The top is two sheets of 3/4" plywood with a 2x6 frame and 2x4 legs with braces and a lower shelf connecting everything.
The problem I have is I didn't properly figure where the Dillon would mount. Where I would like the front bolt holes to be is directly over the 2x6 so the table is roughly 9.5" thick there. Should I buy long bolts and drill all the way through the bottom and put a nut on a longer bolt?
What I would rally like to know is if I can just screw the bracket to the table. If a screw can be used what would you recommend. I spent a good deal of time making the bench to scrap it and any info is greatly appreciated.

top and the 2x6 frame and used threaded rods with washers & nust on top and
bottom then filed them smooth. It's strong as heck.

I mounted my 650 (without the Strong Arm) just last night, and had the same problem. I used a 1" paddle bit to drill a horizontal hole through the 2x6 just under the top, then drilled the 1/4" hole through the top to bisect the 1" hole. Put the washers and nut in the 1" hole and it's done!

Quote from Reloader on May 2, 2009, 7:14 pmI used lag bolts with my 550 no strong mount and I have no problem. My bench design is similar. I only used one sheet plywood but mounted over a crossbrace and doubled for the bolts.

I considered using all-thread and nuts, but decided I'd try some lag bolts first to see if they would have the holding strength I wanted. They hold just fine. The ones I used are 2" long and hold my press like a vice, but you could use some 3" long bolts if you feel you need to.
