Primers are always exciting to vacuum up. I worked in a retail store many years ago where the owner's son just loved to suck them up, in addition to firing off 12 GA blanks unexpectedly before closing time.

I went with a dual approach. For the presses, I decided to use the InlineFabrication mounts, anchored into the 2x6 frame. After looking the system over, it really was a no brainer. While the Lee Bench Mount system looked promising (and cheaper), it was rejected because it cannot accommodate my Hornady LNL AP. Bwaite's trailer hitch solution was astonishingly effective, but my circle of friends does not include welders and metal workers.
As far as other bench accessories go, I mounted these onto sections of the 3/4" plywood, drilled to allow star knobs to secure them to the bench. Yes, I actually managed to poke a few more holes, but it was easier once I had the press setup made. Felt feet on the bottom of the wooden mounts help reduce additional marring of the bench top.
Again, many thanks to the Horde for their enthusiastic advice.
Finally thinking of moving from my garage to inside.
The above bench looks exactly what I am looking for. I will be mounting my presses permanently.
Don't have time or knowledge to build from scratch.
Does anyone know of any "kits" that are available?
Thanks.

Congrats - you won't regret it.
As far as kits go, I've not seen a single one I would own. There were a few, including some made from particle board, but all of them left me underwhelmed.
$350

And one fairly promising one at Harbor Freight for $160 - if it's still available in your store...

Good Luck!
If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
