Any clearance issues with the Inline Utramount for LNL AP?

zanemoseley · February 4, 2015, 07:29 PM

I am in the process of setting up a new Hornady LNL AP press on the Inline ultra mount. The mount is nice but I have a clearance issue between the ram and my bench when I push the handle forward as if I were seating a primer. The mount is not attached to the bench yet so when I push the handle forward it actually lifts the front of the mount off my bench almost 1/8". The picture below is with the press in the resting position. I contacted Dan from Inline and his first reaction was a bit surprised as I was, I'm still waiting for a follow up email. Anyone have any issues like this. I'd prefer to not have to shim it with washers as I was hoping for a very clean install, hence the $70 mount sold specifically for this press.

Does AP stand for armour piercing?

AP stands for Auto Progressive.

Are those legs symetrical? Or can they be turned around so the ram hangs over the edge of the table?

Inline Fab's website says Ultramount raises press 9-5/8" off the bench top. What does yours measure from bench top to bottom of press?

I measured about 1/64" over 9 1/2". Dan got back with me again after he's had a chance to investigate. Turns out he has a production run where the sides were indexed a bit to far into the press which made the "feet" just a bit wider but this reduced the overall height of the stand which is why I have a clearance issue. He's sending me a improved output bracket which will raise the press by 1/8" and hopefully fix the issue. I guess this is the problem with getting tolerances this close.

I believe the risers are universal and only the removable top plate is drilled for specific bolt patterns for different presses. My question would be if you ever intend to use that feature to swap presses on that same riser, would the second press also require an "improved" output bracket as opposed to a standard one?

No worries on my part, it will be dedicated to the LNL AP.
