That’s like the postcard for what they’re supposed to look like. Where’s all the spills and ruined brass?
To answer your question, I’ve since filled the powder dispenser two and a half times with the drain open. So powder spill is mostly behind and under the desk. Had to write on the hopper lid “close drain” so I see it before filling or spilling as the case may be.

Lol, that’s awesome. My poor 10x12 gun/reloading room keeps shrinking as I keep acquiring more crap. I wish they made one of those big roll around tool cabinets with a couple locking drawers for rifles a guy could push under a deep shelf. I need another safe but I need more work space that would kill 2 birds

Love it. It will reliably get me within 1 granule of powder in 10 seconds or so once I got it set up right.

I based my entire setup on being able to get things done quickly and efficiently while still maintaining good consistency. Time is one of those things I always need more of.

It looks like a good setup

Do you feel the metal plates add much to the bench?

I just moved and am currently trying to configure my office/gun/reloading room and need to finalize plans.. I like your setup!

I like them, mainly because I have them tapped and can take the inline precision mounts and my bow vise completely off in about a minute and have a completely flat bench top end to end.

It does have a very small lip, but I beveled the edge of the aluminum so nothing catches. In retrospect, I would have gone thinner aluminum and shimmed it up to flush - it's just slightly thicker than the plywood top I have it set into.

The best investment I made was the inlinefabrication press mounts. They allowed me to use an inferior bench top while ergonomically locating tbe two presses.
On the left is a Dillon SDB, which requires left & right access (9mm,40sw,45acp,44mag), in the middle is a Lee Powder dispenser mounted on a spill plate. On the right is a Lee Classic Turret (223,30-30,308,30-06,270W,45-70), which requires left side access.
The bench top is anchored to the wall. A pool noodle is cut an squished into the gaps to prevent stuff falling behind the bench. The bench itself is a used Craftsman with enough lockable storage for eveything.
I reload in the corner of a spare room in the house.

Mine when I started, 9 months later it’s a bit more messy and cluttered

I've posted a few photos of my reloading area before but I'm proud of how it's turning out so....

This week I added another Inline Fabrication flush plate over on my other bench that I'll use for an additional workstation and also my bow vise will mount to it.
