storing all the bits and pieces

[dlcw]

Took scrap 2x4's and drilled 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" holes and stuck the bits in. For collets, I inserted a 1/4" dowel in some of the 1/4" holes and that's where they sit. Same for collet nuts. The 2x4's sit in my cabinet that has my computer. I chose the cheap-scape route

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.

Dear All

Here’s my two penn'orth.

(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
