Tools to have at hand for your CNC

Accessories
1

I am working out my design for the 1F Enclosure. To determine the amount of drawer space I may need I was wondering what are the needed tools to have at hand?

I am thinking about space for bit storage.
The tools for changing those bits.
The tools for adjusting the spindle mount.
The tools I may need for mounting material to the spoil board.
Any type of clamping or fixture device I may need.

What am I missing?

Tools I have ready access to include:

  • All regularly used bits (1/4", 1/8", 1/16", 1/32, 45d, 60d, 90d)
  • Wrench for collet
  • Different sized collets (1/4", 1/8")
  • Various allen wrenches to tighten things as required (shouldn’t be a problem with 1F though)
  • Ruler (12")
  • Small Tape Measure (12’)
  • Small square
  • Clamps of various forms
  • Blue Tape
  • Super Glue
  • Pencil
  • Calibers

Hope that helps.
