Lathe tool storage

[jmhoying]

I built a simple storage rack for the BXA tooling above my Clausing 5914 lathe. I had some lightweight box metal that I tack welded some 14ga. 1 5/8" tall x 2 1/2" long pieces to. It is mounted to angle back about 5 degrees. Simple, but it sure is handy! I also added an 18" Harbor Freight tool storage magnet to the back side, which holds small wrenches, etc. Also note the magnetic tray (picked this one up a Home Depot) that is on my tailstock. A VERY hand place to keep center drills and such.

Thats a pretty good idea the way it fits the dove tail. Nice

I really like that, Jack. Very clever. I may just have to steal your idea!

Looks great!

I'm just setting up my "new to me" lathe and mill and ideas like this are invaluable.

I'm looking for a thread that shows a lot of setups like this for lathes and mills to get ideas.

Thanks,

Chris
