Looking for Threaded insert for the 20 MM holes

I seriously question having all those holes in a reloading bench.  I use my bench for reloading and also cleaning my guns.  I would hate all those holes for a small screw to fall through or a primer while reloading.  My bench is set up with t-tracks so I can move various reloading tools around, I even had my Dillon 650 on the bench using the t-tracks and no issues.  I have since moved the 650 to its own bench but still have 2 other single stage presses setup for the t-track, works fine. I did use epoxy and through-bolts for the t-track, as I was concerned about reloading rifle rounds and how much pressure on the handle it requires.

Even with the t-track I still cuss sometimes when a small screw or primer falls in but at least it does not make it to the floor.

Also as it has been said, 1 3/4" is too thick for the clamps to work in.
 
If you really want to use clamps the new "Matchfit" clamps from microjig have a screw in the end that can be removed so the sliding jaw can be removed.

Would you mind sharing a picture of how you laid out the t-tracks on your bench?

Thanks!

Can you provide pictures of your setup.  I'm liking this idea.  I may also just put holes for the loader, and another set of hole for various other pieces of equipment.  I tend to overthink, overbuild, etc.
 
Here is my workbench, you will see I have set up t-tracks and made quite a few fixtures for it.  I had my big Dillon reloader on it and it worked fine, but I decided I wanted more space on the bench and moved the Dillon to a dedicated stand, a ex-grinder stand from SEARS.[attachimg=1]
This shows my rifle cleaning hold-down and behind it a powder drop, both slide into the t-track on the bench when used.[attachimg=2]
Here is the Dillon 650 and also a Square deal, the 650 is bolted to the grinder bench, the square deal goes in the t-track where the single stage press was on the first pic, actually all my t-tracks are nearly perfectly spaced so the accessories can go between any 2 t-tracks, the 650 stretched across 3 t-tracks. NOTE the Festool short rails on the right side, to keep it on topic :) [attachimg=3]
And to keep on Festool topic, would you believe that only 4 months ago, at xmas time I had NO festool of any kind ? The remaining SYSAZ drawers are on order but were backordered :( [attachimg=4][attachimg=5]
