Thank you for the compliment on the bench. It fits my needs perfectly.

It wasn't finished when the picture was taken but I have 7 1/4 - 20 machine screws going thru the plate and bench into tee nuts. These are just plain oval head screws because I couldn't find 1/4 - 20 flat socket head machine screws 2" long anywhere. All I could find were 1.5" long. As soon as I can find them I will countersink the plate and replace the screws.

The presses are attached with 5/16 X1" Button socket head machine screws.
