how is everyone organising all that stuff
I built a cabinet that mounts under the end of the router which houses the PC and control box. I, too, have a shelf inside which I have compartmentalized tray to hold the router bits and other essentials.
I took the easy way out for bits, i bought two of these and screwed them to the wall right above my table. Works for me.

I have a drawer cabinet for the accessories and a kind of Rolodex storage for the bits. Although, I should have made it bigger it is already full..

There are frontal slots at the bottom of the holes for the bits so that dust or chips can fall out and don't clog the hole.Quote:

Another quick & dirty approach. Just took a piece of scrap plywood and cut holes and pockets with the ShopBot. Pockets are for storing backup end mills. Sometimes I peel the labels off the Onsrud cases and stick to the plywood. Sits in a Vidmar cabinet drawer.

(Click to enlarge - Tool Shelf)
Have a organiser shelf on the 'zero' edge of the bench for the day to day tooling (collets, spanners, chuck-key etc) and 'in-use' cutters for the project in hand - ready for the manual tool changing.
As most others the 'cutter store' is in the office with the computer so they can be cross referenced with the tool database.
In good faith
