    Betty, I don't have the Olympic bench, but judging from the photos,
    the dovetailed mount that holds the BenchMate system shouldn't
    interfere with the top center drawer when the BenchMate's
    attachments aren't in place. Just put the mounting plate over the
    bench pin hole and use the bench pin that comes with the BenchMate.
    That way, you could remove whatever attachment is in it to open the
    drawer. The main drawback will be that you probably won't be able to
    use that nice layout table that is just under the bench pin hole if
    the mounting plate covers it.
