Lee 3 legged reloading stand

[ascast]

Lee 3 legged reloading stand -anybody use one? have anything to report? I like the look as I could work some case in the warm in front of the boob tube. I'd get more done. I need to full size 30-06 and neck expand the same. Will I need to bolt this to the floor or weight it up to really work good? thanks all

ps I think the currently on sal rig looks a bit under built. I have lots of junk around and can built a little beefier model; that's my plane anyway.

pps will build for ROCKER CHUCKER press

[Baltimoreed]

305655I had a pedestal built for my Dillon 550 and bolted it to the floor. I bought the square tube, made the top and bottom plates and had a local weld shop weld it up. Very solid with a small footprint so it’s close to the wall and I can get close to it. I reload sitting in a tall swivel chair.

Hopefully an owner will reply. The only "non bench mounted" method that ever worked for me was a Workmate. I tried a HF grinder "table", but it was too light, something I thought of when I looked at the Lee press stand. I could add weight (lead bars) to the Workmate and rest my feet on the cross bar and it was stable enough to size 30-06 Garand brass.305657

[deces]

It's weighed down with a cinder block, I guess you could pack the cavities in it with lead ingots for more stability if that's your only concern. I like the idea of the integrated benchplate & storage for other plate mounted tools.

OK
Here is a stand that deserves serious consideration:
305690
https://www.harborfreight.com/universal-bench-grinder-stand-3184.html?_br_psugg_q=grinder+stand
On sale now for $33, that will save you $100 over the Lee stand.
You could mount the press cattycornered (over one leg) for the same rigidity as a 3-legged stand.
I have one but have a drill press (and a wooden riser) on it.
305691
You could vary the riser height to get the proper height or cut the feet/legs off if it needs to be shorter.
The thing is rock solid, and you could stack patio blocks on the shelf or hang blocks under the shelf via wire like the Lee pic shows.
And build wing shelves that fold down for more room for components.
It's what I would do,

For usually less than the price of the Lee stand, let me offer an alternative.. Food for thought if you will..

This is commonly called a "tripod" in the pipe business, these things are THE handiest work spaces for pipe and other things, they are portable, the legs fold up, and they are very strong and very stable. You can mount a press to a 2x6 and bolt or c-clamp the 2x6 to the tripod, you could use a plece of steel for this purpose, you can use the chain vise to hold a large tray with tools or bins for ammo by putting a leg on the end, the possibilities are endless and you can use it for a ton of other things. Plus it will easily hold it's resale value.

Just tossing this out there as an idea. I worked around these things as a pipefitter/pipewelder for many many years, They will hold a ton of weight. I own two just out of how handy and usable they are for just about anything you need a secure hold for.

You can often find these for sale used in Craigslist or Marketplace for pretty affordable prices. I gave $100 for the last one I bought used.

Compared to a tripod, the Lee stand is out of it's league, no comparison in strength and durability, and the tripod is infinitely more usable than the Lee.

[hporter]

I have the Frankford Arsenal stand. It is pretty sturdy. I started off with the old pedestal stand that Midway sold. It was OK, but not very solid. I used mine when I lived in my RV during rig builds in the shipyard, so being compact and easily stowed was a consideration.

The FA stand is just big enough to mount an Inline Fabrication quick change riser on. Not sure that would be of any value for use in front of the TV. Be careful if you pop spent primers in the living room. Wives do not like to find them in their vacuum cleaners......

wow I can see I not the only guy who wants to reload in front of the boob tube wheres its warm. I used the "work mate" type table. It was Ok, I added a lot of weight for stability. Looking for a smaller foot print. I like the "flower pot" concept and will trhink that over. I kinda like smaller weights adding to one big as opposed to a concrete block. The "Dillion" was good, but In the room center more/less. The threading table would be great, maybe a bit big for the living room but maybe not. I will keep my eye out. The small harbor freight looks about right And at a price I can't build from scrap for less. It looks like the force lines on the down stroke woud be nside the feet, so no chance of tipping over. I'll be thinking that over more. thanks all

[ascast]

and the FA looks like a good design too.

I have used the HF drill stand and it didn’t work well. It’s constructed of too many pieces and even though you tighten all the bolts to the breaking point it still flexes way too much to work well. I actually wound up modifying it for a bigger footprint and made it into a work table to hold my chop saw when doing outdoor projects.

Or you could get a Buchanan Hand Press. No worries about room, foot print, stability, etc.. IIRC Mr Buchanan is a member here and asked for info, opinions of the members when developing the tool. ; https://buchananprecisionmachine.com/products/buchanan-precision-machine-hand-reloading-press

I agree with you. I tried a "cheap" stand and it will not work well with a normal press that hangs over the edge as the downforce tends to tip it. They will work with something like a Star reloader or Dillon 1050 where the force is closer to the center of the stand.

Those stands work with a drill press as the load is centered. I used a slightly larger version for a small jointer.

[Kenstone]

Thanks for reading and responding to my post.
I just want to add that I have read the reviews of that HF stand and what other reloaders had to say is quite different from your experience.
I used the search feature in the review section to search for all reviews posted by reloaders and got about 43 reviews, all 5 stars.

To quote a few:

""I used it for a reloading stand. Working better than lee reloading stand and cheaper just put a top on it and went to reloading""

""Replacement for my Reloader, Lee has the same stand only there's is labeled Reloader mount and it's $130.00. You can use this with little to no modifications.""

""Used for a reloading stand. Well-built and decent weight. So far very happy saving money and having a solid reloading stand.""

""Bought this and made a reloading table out of it. Works great and much cheaper than actual tables made for reloading. Heavy duty and easy to put together.""

Those HF stands are on "clearance" now, so I plan to buy one soon as they may be discontinued.
I am considering buying an Inline Fabrication Quick-Change Riser to mount cattycornered, to put a stand leg out in front of the press, as well as out-back of the press for less tipping/flexing.

I have one of the Lee stands and it works great. 30-06 down to 380. Akro bins fit the front of the stand and makes it quite handy. I modified the plate for an RCBS Rock Chuker and Lyman 4500 so I can swap them out with my Breach Lock pro, works like a champ.

[technojock]

Way back when I live in a small apartment, I bought a Lee hand press. Back then I used it for everything, now I mostly use it with a universal decapping die or expander and to seat primers. It's a bit of a handful for sizing '06 cases but I've done a lot of them with it. It would be a cheaper alternative to setting up a portable reloading stand.

How sturdy is it, does it tip or sway when you swage or anything?
What I like about is the bench plate storage, I wish lee came up with a cheap way to vertically rack the press on plates. Or even just a cheap mountable injection molded storage base and let us figure out what to do with them.

[richhodg66]

Wht is the height of the Harbor Freight stand? I assume it would require you to sit while reloading, but I suppose a riser of some sort could be arranged.

How stable is it? I've used plenty of them on job sites and they're great but they didn't strike me as a rock-steady mount for other purposes.
Maybe I just never used one that hadn't been beaten half to death...

""Table height: 32 in.""
More like bar stool height for reloading.
For stand-up reloading you could add a riser, or cut-off the legs for sitting-in-a-chair reloading.

Some presses do not mount over the edge ofthe work surface (Lyman All American turret), so wondering if mounting such a tool in the middle of the table area of this might reduce the need for it to be real stable.

Probably gonna find out soon, I picked one of these up at Harbor Freight last night, gotta look around at what scraps I have but I should be able to make it work. If need be, I'll put a riser deck on it, but I'd prefer to avoid it if possible.

Good call on the HF stand.
You can always cantilever a wood riser over and edge to mount the press on.
Or build the riser cattycornered to the stand so that one leg is out in front of the press and one leg behind it.
Lots of options.

That second picture with what looks like a Lee progressive, it won't turn over with something like that mounted that far off center?

Looking at the lower shelf on these, I wonder if filling that with molten lead and letting it harden inside would weight it down enough?

I am going to start with either (or both) a Lyman All American Turret and Hollywood Senior. Both can be mounted away from the edge of the work surface. I may build a riser of one inch oak like you showed and install one of the Lee quick change systems for other stuff. Maybe I should go buy another one of these stands while I can.

[Three44s]

I began loading at age 19 in ‘75.

I had to build a portable stand to get started. I used a bunch of 2x4 lumber and lag screws.

I built a base in the form of an rectangle with the long parallel runners about 12” apart and about 4’ long. Caped the ends with short 2 by pieces.

The riser in the same fashion attached just on the inside of each of the two long runners (base).

The top of the riser is bridged with a short 2x4 block and then topped with steel to bolt my reloading press to. Welded to the steel topper are four pieces of angle iron that run down the outside of the four corners of the wood riser pieces.

Two 2x4 brace pieces run from near the top of the riser to the runner pieces on the floor.

I loaded on this stand exclusively for nearly 40 years and still use it occasionally.

As time went on I added a height and laterally adjustable bracket to the left side and built a tray for brass to mount to that bracket and then switch to a powder measure during case charging. This is welded to the steel topper.

I grabbed those pics off the net, so I cannot attest to how those setups worked out.

When I was assembling mine, I considered mounting the shelf up-side-down with the lip up to keep stuff from rolling off.
I will be hanging patio blocks on wire like the Lee stand if I determine it needs it, pouring lead in the shelf is beyond my skill level, good idea though.
I built a rolling tool cart on top of a HF dolly and added patio blocks on it for less tippy, and that worked out well.

I put this together this afternoon. More solid than I'd have guessed before you guys gave your endorsement. I have a pallet my son's tool box for school came on that has some nice, straight, square 2x4s of some kind of hard wood, I thing I am going to make a butcher block top which will be nearly 4" thick to add a little height. I set both the Hollywood Senior and Lyman All MAerican centered on the top and I believe either one will work fine.

Think I may go back to Harbor Freight and get another one of these.

[500aquasteve]

I have the Lee tripod one. It does have a weight hanger for support, but I never used it. I just hold the press in my left hand to counter the forces if needed, but the design is very sturdy and rarely need to add support. Maybe on thick carpet it might move around.
It is very space economic

I’ve used both of these as well. The one on top works quite well, but I did construct a new deck out of 2x12’s for a good solid mounting surface. It is on the shorter side so without a riser it’s for sitting down. The one on the bottom didn’t work at all, no matter how you tightened all the bolts it just had too much flex.

[richhodg66]

So, messed around a little and came up with this for the little Harbor Freight Grinder Stand. After I put the first one together, I was impressed enough to go back and buy another one, stable, simple and cheap enough and I can see all kinds of uses for one, not just for reloading.

So, I'm not the smartest guy in the room anywhere I go, but figure a press that doesn't hang over the edge of the work surface is the way to go. Enter the Lyman All American Turrent Press. It's mounted pretty much in the center of the deck I put on the stand and with the added height of two 2x12 planks, I can work it standing without having to stoop. Not at eye level, but I don't think it'll need to be, and it's about riight for sitting in a chair. I haven't ever used one of these, so there's a learning experience coming. I have shell holders and priming stems, etc. I want one of the 3d printed primer catchers for it.

I bolted a square piece or 2x12 to th top of the stand with elevator bolts from the top, recessed so the heads stay flat. Mounted the press to an identical piece of 2x12 using elevator bolts so they are recessed and the two planks mate up flat. I'll get some smaller C clamps, these were handy.

This is going to allow me to mount other presses, tools the same way as this Lyman and be able to change tools quickly. I have a Hollywood Senior and also a C&H H type press that also mount away from the edge so if I need a strong press with good leverage, I can. Figured I'd make one of these planks with one of the Lee quick-chnage plates attached so I can swap out powder measures, bench priming tools, etc.

Gonna try stacking ingots in the tray shelf and see if it helps, might not be needed. I have a cheap old 9x9 cake pan I plan to cast a lead weight from to drop in that tray if I need to. All in all, I think I'm off to a good start and will be able to load in the house where it's more comfortable in the Winter than the shop and also keep my wife from being a relading widow.

I do something similar to 'fatnhappy'. I use farm 'disc' blades as a base, weld a 1" waterpipe riser, and a plate to mount my press on. I also have an 'ear' welded at my bench height, so I can clamp it to my small reloading table, using a pipe style Vise Grip. I primarily use my Coax press and have that mounted above bench height. I also have a similar stand for a Lee C style press, mounted at eye level for rifle bullet seating, seems to work well for me. That way I can have a clear bench, move my press in when I need, and it is solid. hc18flyer

I built a second portable stand and also used a disc blade for the base on that one. My riser is made out of a used and worn (discarded) PTO shaft outer safety shield. A steel plate 3/16” tops the riser. I can C-Clamp a reloading press to it that is attached to a base block. I originally built it for a Pacific 366 shot gun press and it has holes drilled fir it.

It also doubles as my seat for range testing loads at other times.

I am thinking of constructing another but fastening an old time steel tractor seat to it with the pivot so I can flip it over to keep it dry when not in use.

[elk hunter]

I made two of these out of 2" pipe. I use a separate top plate for my swaging press. You won't break it or tip it over. You could take it apart and stow it in a foot locker or closet. Used pipe can usually be found at salvage yards. Three elbows, two tee's some different lengths of pipe, a pipe flange, a conduit lock ring and a piece of 1/4" steel plate. I did paint them after taking this picture.

The big plus of a three legged stand, is that it will always be stable, even on uneven ground. A four legged one will be a lot more difficult to get stable.

[Willbird]

The big plus of a three legged stand, is that it will always be stable, even on uneven ground. A four legged one will be a lot more difficult to get stable.

First guy I ever worked for in a machine shop called that the "milk stool principle" :-). One screw type adjustment on the 4th leg could make everything work great. The HF thing is inexpensive for sure. If one is a project kinda person I would think about buying Hillman (2) 1-1/2" angle iron 48" long to make the legs without a joint in them. Then use the HF included angle for other projects. That would double the price of the whole project though. I think those legs would be a lot stiffer if they were solid.

Overall with how I do stuff I think I would just make the thing from scratch probably, and as you suggest 3 legs with 2 up front might work best.

At first glance I thought the Lee stand was cool but not $140 cool.

Sometimes perfect is the enemy of good too LOL :-).

""Overall, with how I do stuff I think I would just make the thing from scratch probably.""
I don't see how you could make a comparable stand (HF), as the materials alone would be way more than $33.

As far as the 2-piece legs, the two-bolt overlap of the connection point and the shelf being sandwiched there too creates a very ridged joint with no movement or wobble.
309167

That and, I have tack-welded such joints on other stuff to add rigidity that worked quite well.
Like the braces on this cheap workmate, the gap was so big I laid a finish nail in the gap before welding:

309164
That cured the wobbles 100%.

[country gent]

I have made several for guys at the club similar to the pipe stand shown above.
basically the same design, I extended the back leg and added a seat to it giving it the persons weight to help stabilize it.
Sitting on it keeps the force contained in the unit. Sit it beside a table for the scales and what not, mount the press and powder measure on the top of the stand
