Can someone get me some dimensions on a Redding T-7

[RCC1]

I've searched the Internet and have had no luck.

Can anyone with a Redding T-7 press give me some basic dimensions of the base where it mounts to a bench?

Mine shows up tomorrow and I need to get a steel plate cut to mount it to.

The overall dimensions of the base and the bolt holes would be greatly appreciated.

Hope this will help, if you don't get a template. Hard to get measurements when mounted. Base is approx. 4.480-4.490 wide by 4.300 long. Both sets of mounting holes going left to right are 3.175" apart. Both sets of mounting holes going front to back are 2.400" apart. You will want the holes closest to the edge of your bench to be 1/2"- 3/4" back from the edge of the bench. No more then 3/4" back.

I went with this system......https://inlinefabrication.com/collections/redding I have a plate for the T7 and another for the RCBS Rock Chucker. Makes the mounting interchangeable.

I had a guy weld up some plate steel, 3/8 or more thick. Two slabs 5x10" stacked atop each other, offset so one is sticking forward a bit and separated the two with a vertical piece about 4x10. Mount the press to the top, and mount the bottom to the bench. Hope that makes sense. Lifts the press off the bench, giving it a higher platform, and brings it out over the lip of the bench a ways so everything moves easily. Then I bolted that puppy to the bench with several good bolts. sorry no photo...stuff still in moving boxes but it works great, and I paid $10 for it.
