Lyman Universal Press Stand – Heavy Duty Steel, Fits Most Presses

Description

Anyone who has spent an afternoon hunched over a bench-mounted press knows the drill: your back starts barking long before the ammo can is full. The Lyman Universal Press Stand solves that by lifting your press up to a height where you can see what you're doing and keep working without constantly bending over. It's built from all-steel heavy duty construction, so it stays planted under the leverage of full-length sizing and the push-pull of a progressive cycle.

What the Lyman Universal Press Stand Fits

This is one of the more versatile mounts out there because it ships with two pre-drilled mounting plates covering a wide spread of popular presses. You're looking at compatibility with Lyman's own Crusher, T-Mag, Ideal C-Frame, Victory, and All-American 8 Turret, along with RCBS Rock Chucker, Rock Chucker Supreme, RCBS Turret, and Pro 2000. It also covers Hornady AP, Iron, and Lock-N-Load Classic, Redding T7, several Lee presses including the Load Master, Pro 1000, Classic, and Value Turret, plus Dillon's Square Deal, 550, 650, and 750. If you happen to run something outside that list, there's a blank area built in so you can drill your own pattern and still get a solid fit.

Getting the Lyman Stand Set Up

The stand raises your press about 9-1/4 inches above the bench surface, which does two things: it cuts down the fatigue that comes from leaning over a low-mounted press, and it gives you a clear line of sight into every stage of the operation. All the hardware you need to mount your press comes in the box, so you're not making a run to the hardware store before you can get rolling.

Mounting is flexible too. The base is drilled so you can bolt it permanently to your bench, or you can run a C-clamp if you'd rather pull it off and store it between sessions. That makes it a nice option for folks working off a shared bench or a smaller shop where real estate is tight.
