I attached my press through the countertop directly to the frame. As long as the press is secure your countertop really doesn’t do much. I made a frame of 2x4’s and 2x6’s for the bench. Both presses are bolted directly to this frame. This way the countertop doesn’t get any of the load from the press. If you don’t do it this way you could break the countertop.
