Bladesmith, SASS 113085 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 It admittedly didn’t require any great skill or ingenuity, but I set up my Mec 600 Jr to use the Lee quick change bench plate system awhile back and it’s been working great. It lets me swap between this and my progressive press and save bench space. As you can see, for the transition I just used some scrap 2x4 that was notched for the correct fit up and bolted to the plate below. Thought it might be of interest to someone else.

Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Interesting, I notice your MEC has a 3 hole base, mine all have 4. How old is your MEC? Trying to figure out if it is super old or super new and the change to 4 hole came long ago or the 3 hole is a new thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it second hand, but I’d guess older rather than newer. Seems to have a few miles on it and when I needed to switch out a part, MEC indicated it was an older style for what that’s worth.

Thanks. I should’ve taken some photos along the way to make it more clear, but it was just an experiment at first. Once I decided I liked it, it was a bit harder to take photos of the relevant parts. Happy to answer questions if anyone has any though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I use an IN LINE Fabrication base and quick change plates for all my presses etc. Plates for my P-W shotshell loader, my Redding T7, My old RCBS single stage, my Primal Rights CPS, my Wilson turner, etc. One base and lots of plates. I hang them on In Line fab. wall hangers when not using them on the base. I also hang my 8 T7 turrets on the In Line fab. wall racks to save space. A really great system. I highly recommend In Line products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
