Lathe tool bit trays

Figured it would be nice to organize the carbide lathe bits.


This was made using the top from a project TV.  The material is best described as paper fiber with a wood grain veneer.  The sides are plywood.

The large tray has 49 compartments the smaller has 28.

The pockets are 0,4 inches.   The space between pockets are large enough to prevent the its from touching.

I have about 6 1/2 inch bits that will not fit.  Making the pockets large enough to accomadate them would have made them too large for the smaller 5/16".

I am not sure about the use model.  Maybe keep the larger one in a tool cabinet and the smaller near the lathe.  Will have to see what works.
