Saw a work bench for 135.00 in the HF circular.
Wonder if it would be sturdy enough for a rock chunker?
It ain't easy being me.

I have the same bench AND an RCBS Rock Chucker and, yes, they work great together. I did end up buying one of these to help mount the press. Worked great.

These benches can be made rock-solid with the addition of a piece of 1/2" plywood screwed and glued at the back, and on the side with the press.
Kind regards, charlesb

Well got the HF table from fed ex tonight when I got home. Much more heavy duty than I expected. Should work just fine for my press and other gear. Pretty sure there will be room for my Blitzenburger fetching jig and a fly tieing vice.

I use one of those benches a lot. For suapping presses around, the presses are mounted on 12 inch square 3/4 inch plywood with counter sunk screws and captive nuts put in the bench so to change out presses it is 4 bolts. The bench is mounted on 3/4 inch plywood on the floor and is bolted to the wall
