Milling Machine Tool Storage

I built tool storage drawers under the chip pan on each side of my milling machine stand and a center drawer in the stand. The left drawer stores all my clamping and hold-down parts and the right drawer has all my end mills. The center drawer in the cabinet provides storage for collets, mill arbors and chucks, and wrenches. I used the mill to "machine" all the recesses and coordinate drill the holes. I sealed the wood with clear polyurathane finish to prevent moisture buildup and subsequent rusting of tools and cutter shanks. So far no rust in the first year of use. Sure is nice to have all the everyday cutters and clamps right where you need them. There is still ample shelf space in the cabinet for the larger heavy items such as spin indexer, right angle plate, indexing table, tilt table, and vise.
