Collet storage

[Mtnmac]

Not exactly tooling, but storage for tooling. With a small shop, every inch counts. I needed a place to store my 5C collets and noticed the space under the lathe was unused... So ordered a set of ball bearing slides from Mcmaster Carr, scrounged up some plywood and came up with a nice storage area for collets.

Nice,

I like that. The only problem is that my space under is full right to the tray! Currently my collets live in a drawer of the upright tool cabinet next to the lathe.

Welded 3/4 angle iron frame, 5/8 AC plywood on top.

Excellent use of available space!

I'm going to check the space I have under my Lathe and hopefully work out a shelf. Probably use the Melamine covered particle board as used in counter tops. Great tip/project.

Perfect! Lots of storage, easy access and protected from chips and debris.
