  • Lets talk drill bits...
  • Went through all my fractional drill bits. Got them sorted out, cleaned, sharpened and indexed. Now I need to find a good way to index all the letter and number bits I have laying around the shop. Hint, a metal lathe is a good way to clean up the end were they get tore up by a slipping chuck.

  • You could make another rack by hot-gluing short pieces of PVC pipe to a board.

    I use those metal drill index boxes. ...I keep one at the lathe, one at the drill press, one at the mill, and one in the garage. ...Extras are sorted and put into small plastic bags.

  • My drill index is a cake pan, I should really get one of those.

  • I need to find something like this for all my number and letter bits. Sure is nice to be able to quickly find a sharp bit the right size.

    Get another one and put your own labels on it?
