I believe that you ll find that 48 is just a bit tall for most people s preferences.
Diy reloading bench height.
I am 6 2 and i am incapable of expressing how much better it is for me to work on a 42 tall work surface.
For those individuals who are active in hunting and shooting sports these reloading tables or reloading benches are a must.
What height and top material would be ideal.
A good size for a reloading bench is at least 5 feet wide and 3 feet deep.
48 is almost chest height on your average sized person.
A bench this size will give you plenty of room to store your equipment and components but still have room to work.
This is tall enough for me to work the handle without bending over and i can see the shell plates clearly.
I was thinking 3 4 ply.
It will also be large enough to have shelves built into the back of it or underneath it.

I m currently in the process of constructing a similar reloading bench and 36 seems to be a much more usable bench height.
Some of the reloading benches shown require additional equipment for set up.
Reloading bench sketchup plans there are lots of different bench styles and i sifted through many before deciding what i wanted.
For the height i chose a top at 43.
You can save a substantial amount of money by reloading spent casings.
I made a sketchup model of the bench if you would like to view the plans.
It will serve as a reloading station and a work bench.
