Drill bit and tap storage

[JustinS]

Just recently upgraded to a floor standing drill press and i find myself needing a way to organize bits and taps near the press.

What have you done in your shop?

Delta has a tray that bolts to the column. It's pretty basic. With a little creativity, you could make something that suits your needs.

I have used this style for years, love it. Image search 'drill tap stand' and you'll find them available many places. One place is http://www.penntoolco.com/tap-and-drill-stands/

I like my taps in a huot unit.

For drill bits this thing is great. It stores from #60 to 1/2" and is about 6" in diameter and on a carousel. I don't know if they're still available.

Buy an end cabinet from HF and use it to hold all the drill press Accessories’s

I have always wanted a Huot drill bit drawer index. The college I attended always used them. Nice organization, and handy. I will be getting one some day...

I have the tray as shown in post #2 but, for the huge assortment of drilling accessories, I bought a HF side box and mounted it on a castered platform. Slides right in under the table.

I have the Huot 13000 dispenser cabinet for drills but have this for taps: https://www.amazon.com/Akro-Mils-10164-Plastic-Storage-Hardware/dp/B000LDH3JC/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1522344823&sr=8-5&keywords=akro+mills+storage
it has enough drawers for SAE, Metric, and pipe.
