| How are you storing setup tools? on a tray? hung up? in a rack? on the headstock tray? |

Shelf next to the lathe....buuuut.
I've been thinking that some AL angle would be perfect to hang them from. Infinite length, no corrosion issues, cheap....What's not to like? Headstock tray is for the chick key, chip brush, lube and calipers. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

In the little coolant catch pockets at the end of the table. Mills are great; they're like a fancy workbench for all your stuff you never bother putting away. Or, you know, in the tool cabinet drawer marked 'edge finders, indicators and delicate stuff' Holy fuck. That made my heart race. Good mill tables are NOT a bench. Shitty mills tables, well, uh, that sucks. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I may be a shitty machinist, but at least I never forget to leave the chuck key in the three jaw so the next guy can find it easy. |

I did something similar. Unistrut with aluminum angle pieces for the holders. Unistrut allows you to vary the spacing as needed and it's cheap. |

I have a shelf from the wall to my chip shield. Tool holders, indicators, Allen wrenches, copper shim stock etc reside there. Likewise headstock tray holds calipers, pitch gage, thread mic, chip brush, Sharpie and a couple die maker stones. Pretty much the way I do it. |

Genuine Aloris pillows or cheap Chinese knock offs? Quoted:

The Phase II stuff, I store in the garbage can. My Aloris tool holders are laying on little silk pillows. Genuine Aloris pillows or cheap Chinese knock offs? Trick question. Aloris silk comes from China. Seriously though, I store mine on the chip pan. Someday I'll make a stand for them. |

I picked up a couple of these on the bay and mounted them on the back splash, they work great.
