Metric Drill Bit Holder

[TonyL]

I searched on Google and Amazon for the above and didn't find anything to store 7mm to 12mm drill bits (neatly and organized). If you stumble across one or make one, please let me know. I am sure they are easy enough to make, but do not want to go that route yet.

Thank you!

If you can't find one, send me a PM with contact details. I think I've a couple in the useful rubbish pile, they go from 1 mm -13 mm in 1/2 mm increments.

I saw a thread here a while back, where some one was making an index to sell?

What ever happened to that? I wanted one of those

I get their emails every day, and like them. I am getting it. This is the fist I have seen in .5mm increments.

Thanks!

Tony,
You could always make one. I did, from a small block of Camphor - just used each drill bit to make a hole for itself, and store bits in point down. Just make sure to write the size of the bit by each hole.

I selected Camphor based on purported anti-rust properties (which may be urban legend, but it seems to be working just fine, no rust, after several years.)

Thank you...simple question...what is Camphor LOL?

For $11, i will buy one. If it was something that I would enjoy making, I would make it. Thanks though!

Wood from the Camphor Laurel tree, also used to extract camphor oil for products like Vicks rub - it has that strong smell. Considered an invasive species here in the US I believe - here's more on it: https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/65181/IPA-Camphor-Laurel-PP46.pdf

We have lots around here, I love the smell of it when turning, I also make bowls from it, like the one shown below.

A turner wood ( get it wood) make one similar to a cigar tube or be like me and throw them in the drawer.

I liked that fragrance (Vic's)!
