looks good hitch, you are right the bits would only be fit for the bin!

 

[madkayaker]

looks like a good plan Hitch someone might like the bits

You can get proper drill storage, they're a spiral with holes drilled in and marked with the size for each bit.

I use the usuall drill tins and strips. But I also have a Beta top chest that is just for mills and drills. I keep meaning to score the next bisley multi draw unit going cheap/free I see and it for drill storage.

Funny, I've just got up to design a drill tray for a load of MT3 Drill bits from 13mm to 30mm in .5 increments, I bought, but then I'm lucky as I'll email it to work and the new Amada Turret Punch will effortlessly do the hard work.



Meanwhile I found the cheapo pound shops and the alike, have good selections of plastic bins and tins. Very cheap as well, as the likes of wurth charge a bloody fortune.

I made a drill stand thing for the large bits at work, I shall try and get a pic next week.

Two shelves, with holes punched in that the taper shanks fit nicely into. Slots for tapers etc.

I've got the Wurth set. Bought it on offer and it was still £100! Good bits though. Unlike the cheap ones you can keep resharpening them.

Did the poor boy version of that in my last workshop. Just made a shelf from a piece of wood and drilled it full of holes with a flat spade drill at aproximate spacings.
Used only a few hole sizes, one for all the mt1's, one for mt2 , one for the mt3's etc and right at the end had a larger spaced section to carry all the taper tailstock fittings for the lathe too.
Only regret is that I never made it with a cover to keep out dust/swarf. Mk2 will have one...
You can buy trolleys and prepunched blanks in the same manner now, but with regular spacing for eg int40 tapers so they can be used with a toolchanger...
