How does the seated chest press compare to a regular, free-weight bench press?

Q: I don’t have anyone to work out with so I’m limited to using machines rather than free weights on a lot of things. The closest machine my gym has to a bench press is the seated chest press. I’m just wondering if there’s any way to compare the two; i.e: If I can lift “x” on the seated chest press, what should I expect to be able to lift on a free weight bench press.

The chest press machine usually runs on a pulley system so just because you can lift 200lbs on the machine does not mean you can do that on the bench press. also, the chest press machine isolates your chest…while the bench press uses stabilizer muscles so again can’t compare.
