Discontinued item - shown for reference purposes The CSP-B Bench Stand places your CSP-1 S-Press (or earlier Series II press) at a better position for swaging than mounting it directly on a typical reloading bench top. The extra foot of height puts the die and punch alignment more nearly at eye level, when you sit in front of the bench on a chair or shop stool. The handle is raised so that you don't have to reach as far down on the power stroke, making the operation easier on your arm for long production runs. |

Using the CSP-B Bench Stand gives you back nearly twice as much storage space on top of your bench, compared to mounting the press directly on the bench. First, you get back the entire area under the press, and then you also gain storage area on the combination brace and shelf about half-way up inside the legs of the stand. This space is handy for accessories, dies, or bullet-making supplies. The stand mounts with four 1/4-inch lag bolts or screws to the top of your bench, with the legs as close as practical to the front of the bench. The angled front of the stand places the press slightly further over the edge than you would be able to mount it directly, which is useful for benches that have drawers nearly even with the front edge (because it gives you more clearance for your hand and the press handle on the power stroke). Mounting hardware is not provided because it varies with the type of bench (thick or thin, wood or metal) and can be found at any hardware store. If your bench top is thin, or is made of metal, you will want to consider using large "fender" washers or making a backing block of wood or metal to help stiffen and spread the forces on the mounting nuts. Sheet metal screws are not recommended: use machine screws, washers and nuts to mount the press on metal bench tops or on wood tops less than 3/4-inch thick. The Bench Stand is shipped unassembled. To assemble the stand, first locate and identify all of the parts:
The easy way to assemble the stand is to set the legs upside down and install the shelf, then mount the stand (right-side up) on your bench, and finally install your press and the reinforcing plate once the stand has been securely mounted on the bench. ![]() Adjust the shelf position so it is evenly positioned in relation to the front and back of the stand, and then tighten the screws and nuts securely. Turn the stand upright, and mount it on your bench with the sloping front facing forward, toward the bench edge, and the straight back facing the back of the bench. Mount the stand as close to the front of the bench as you can without letting the flanges hang over the edge. ![]() Once you have a complete bolt, washer, lockwasher, and nut fastened finger tight, you can then use both hands to secure the other bolts with their lockwashers and hex nuts. Then tighten the bolts and nuts securely. The assembly and mounting of the press is now complete.
