I just got a bench swager and was wondering how everyone had it set up on their bench. Pictures would be great.

I just use 2 spring clamps on the edge of the work table, then I can take it off and store it when done. It doesn’t move when operating.
Congrats on the new press, you won’t regret it. Make sure it’s greased well! I use fluid film on all the moving parts.

I bolted mine to my bench in the corner where it’s stronger and closer to the front to work the handle effectively.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I wish I would hav opted for a bench swage instead of a hand swage. I’m already clumsy
