Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Reloading Stand

[Joezilla]

having the wooden center section of the table thicker than the metal side plates would not be a problem ..... the OEM center section is 1" thick, since I will soon have a second one on hand, using it will raise the surface of the center section to being 1" higher than the wings

I am watching this with interest. Keep us informed of your progress. Great report thus far.

well, as promised, our portable reloading stand arrived today .... pictures below show the box as it arrived through the assembly process .... as can be seen, when it arrived the wooden section of the top had a chip in it .... per the instruction sheet, I plan to call the company (not Amazon) in the morning to notify them about the problem ..... the assembly was straight forward and went smoothly .... first impression, it is most certainly a heavy duty stand .... I like the way it folds up .... I do believe it will provide a stable stand for taking our single stage reloading press and other necessary reloading equipment with us when we are on the road .... I also feel pretty certain that it will come in handy for other uses .... example : my wife's sewing machine should fit on it .... I believe that it can also come in handy for use outside the camper, under the awning .... I'm looking forward to speaking with their customer service in the morning ... they have a good reputation, will add a note as to how it goes

Jim,

In the last picture, it looks like the table is in it's lowest position. How tall it is at that spot?

I'm not a fan of pressboard but I don't see taking a perfectly good top off .... that said, I'm pretty sure that down the line I will replace the pressboard with an inch to an inch and a half of plyboard

we have found that our Frankford table also makes an excellent cleaning station .... its portability and stability are major assets

Looks great. I am seriously going to consider getting one of these.

so far, I'm happy with it .... the one thing I will change is to replace the OEM pressboard section of the top .... to replace it I'll probably glue 2 or 3 pieces of 3/4" plyboard ... that said, I won't do so until the pressboard one shows it needs to be replaced .... I really believe it will work better than anything else that I've seen for us while we are traveling
