Note: I don't work nor am I paid to do anything for Inline Fabrications. I am simply a well satisfied customer.
Several years back, I wanted a roller handle for my RCBS Pro 2000 press. Nobody made one, so I contacted Dan from Inline Fabrication. They didn't make one at the time, but Dan was willing to make me one and actually bought a Pro 2000 to design a proper ergonomic handle. So I ended up getting the first roller handle available for a Pro 2000 press. It's been an excellent addition to my Pro 2000 and saved my hand/arm over thousands of rounds now.
Fast forward to November 2015. I wanted a quality raised mount for my Pro 2000, my Lee Classic Cast single stage and my brand new Lee Loadmaster progressive. I'd read about Inline Fabrications quick change base plate Ultramounts and having personal experience with their roller handles, I decided to buy one. I could not have been more pleased.
First off, the gauge of the steel the product is made from is 1/8th's thick. If you've ever bought a tool stand from Harbor Freight, you know this is right at triple to four time the thickness of the stands they're sell to support power tools for use in the garage/basement. Hardware is included and you can assemble one quickly and easily, ready to mount on your bench.
Second, the product is stamped in such as way as to give maximum strength. These Ultramounts are not going to notice your press is on them, no matter how heavy your press is.
Third, the quick change base is fantastic. You just mount your reloading press to the base and you can store it in a cabinet, hang it on the wall using Inline Fabrication's brackets, or you can simply lay it on your bench shelf. When you're ready to put it on the press, it's quick and easy. It has a tab in the back that fits into the Ultramount and two 1/4-20 screw studs in the front. You insert the tab, guide the studs into their respective holes in the Ultramount base, place the hold downs on the studs, screw them tight and your done changing presses. Set up your press, add components and start reloading. The Ultramount comes with high quality hardware to assemble it completely except for the bolts for mounting the Ultramount to the top of your reloading bench. I bet if they could predict the thickness and material of your reloading bench, the mounting bolts would come in the kit as well.
Fourth, the steel is powder coated with a slick black paint that looks fantastic and is easy to clean of grease/oils/filth while not being delicate/easy to chip/scratch at all.
Fifth and finally, if you want to add another quick change baseplate, all you have to do is go back to Inline Fabrication's website, look up the one you need from their pulldown button and order it. Note: The list is very long of presses and things you can mount, so finding the one you need on the list may be the most difficult thing you do.
In my opinion, you can't buy a more ideal reloading press mount/stand. This thing is better than sliced bread, is a bag of chips and is all that. Here's a few pics, I wanted to post them sooner, but it appears the site was down for a few days or my ISP provider couldn't access the servers for some reason or another. Without further ado:
