So I am about to replace my 550 with a 650, and I would like to confirm it will fit on my bench as it currently stands. My concern is that the casefeeder may extend too far back and hit the wall, causing me to have to mount it diagonally, or somehow lengthen the bench. I have this bolted into the wall as you can see, and it has worked great with my 550, so I hope I can stick a 650 on there.

I am in a condo, and my bench (facing the press) hits the wall exactly 20 7/8th inches from the edge.

Here is a picture of my setup, with my soon to be replaced 550.

Will a 650 w/casefeeder fit? Is just under 21 inches enough depth? Its tough to tell from pictures online. I am good to go with height above the bench, just not sure about depth from edge to the wall.

I am getting just under 18" from the furthest front edge of my 650 to the trail edge of the casefeeder..........however, I don't have a stand, and direct mount it to the furthest forward portion of my bench. But, looking at your photo, and measurements, it would appear you have 3+" to play with, and looks like your leading edge of the press is only an inch or two from the leading edge of the bench.

Many thanks.

Man, that is close. Looks like it will most likely work though.

Fuse- I just measured mine with a plumb bob. It's an XL650 with the strong mount and the case feeder.

15" from leading edge of strong mount to rear edge of case feeder.
16" from front edge of my bench to rear edge of case feeder. YMMV.
16 3/4" from base of ram arm to rear edge of case feeder.
