Hi. I currently have a loading bench made out off an old commercial sewing machine base with a section of old countertop screwed to it. It has served me well for the 3/4 year or so that I’ve had it set up. It’s nice because it doesn’t have a very big footprint, and therefore doesn’t take up much room.
However, due to more equipment acquisition, I feel I need to build a larger loading bench. A friend has a heavy commercial workbench with separate bolt on legs, and a 3’x4’ steel top. I think this would fit the bill nicely. But a big question I have is could I be heading for disaster using a steel top table for a loading bench?? What I’m concerned about is having a conductive table top and handling powder, cases, etc. ?? Am I over thinking this or is my static electric spark hazard a valid concern? Maybe a countertop over the steel surface would be smart? What do you all think?
