I want to mount my RCBS Partner Press to a 5.5" x 5.5" x 1/4" aluminum plate that I have, so I can make it portable, clamp to table/bench with a C clamp when needed. Would it be strong enough? I guess the plate is 6061 or 7075, don't know.The mounting plate in Hornady Quick Detach Mounting Plate System is rather thick, likely aluminum, what is the thickness and if it is aluminum? RCBS also has a bae plate, rather thick, aluminum? what thickness? If I have to, I can buy a steel plate, what is the minimum thickness needed? The Lee Bench Plate looks like steel and rather thin, my guess is maybe 1/8". Anyone has one?
I intend to countersink the plate and use flathead bolts.
