I wanted a bit storage system that allowed for flexible storage – if you get a new bit/lose a bit a tray that could grow or shrink as your collection changes, without having to move all the bits around. Also to store them in original cases for details/vendor info. Also have an area for bits that are used for current job, I bought extra collets/nuts so I can set up to 4 bits and have them ready for bit swap. Would work great with rapidchange Solo - please Redline support this soon!. Storage for collets/nuts/wrenches. I combined a cnc’d mdf tray with 3d printed dividers that hook onto a rail and slide as needed as collection changes. Working well so far.
Excellent solution. The problem with vertical storage (holes in a block) is the limitation on expandability/mismatch between hole diameter & new but shanks and you lose the info on the box. But it does make for a smaller footprint for but storage.
A tray is a larger footprint but better flexibility the way you’ve designed yours. Maybe I just need to make a shallow drawer and use a tray like yours.
Yes, I did not want vertical storage as drawer would have to be deeper. Glad you like it and let me know if you can improve on it.
