Below; I found storing collets and boring heads in a drawer is much better than storing them on the milling machine itself.
My 5C storage rack stored in a file cabinet drawer; The rack has a lexan lid as a barrier to dirt and moisture. The storage rack was made from an old shipping crate.
I'm always looking for additional storage space. One day I noticed this corner of the shop with nothing it but not very accesable either. I bought some sliding door track at Lowes. If I need the contents of the cabinets I role them out from the corner then roll them back out of the way.
Below is a drawer mounted under the chip pan of my lathe. Every lathe should have a drawer under the chip pan is space permits. I made wooden dividers for some of my tool bits. The plastic dividers were containers that new taps come in. Most of them came from work.
Below are wooden cases I made for a rightangle attachment, rotary table, radius dresser, special spindle, I.D. micrometer, TI30 calculator,
spin indexer and #30 toolholders.
