My lathe is a floor model and has no cabinet to store tooling and contain chips. If possible I would like to see some pictures of how other members store their tooling for this type of lathe. Ideas are welcome on how to fabricate a chip pan/sheild and tooling storage ideas.
Here is some storage under my lathe. The drawers fit into rectangles the same size as those where the short lengths of stock are (at the bottom in this arrangement); this allows me to rearrange the drawers into any configuration I want, and allows me to separate the stock into appropriate groupings (e.g., one bin has 1/2" diameter stock, the next has 5/8", and so on):
Here is some storage fixed to the wall above the tailstock end, with various centers, chucks, center drills, etc.; also some t-handle allen keys, flux brushes for applying small amounts of lubricant, deburring tools, and cans of lubricant/cutting oil. In the lower shelf are a set of slots holding a collection of various files featuring custom-made handles:
Here are a couple of pictures of the lazy susan for my QCTP toolholders:
As you can see, all of this storage was mostly fabricated from scrap plywood -- quick and simple, but very effective. The lazy susan rotates on a large ball bearing that I scavenged. The drawers in the cabinet under the lathe came out of an old library card index that I scavenged. I also used the same drawers in a cabinet fitted into the home-made stand of a small mill-drill (aka glorified drill press):
You can't tell from the picture above, but the sides of this cabinet feature peg-board, allowing me to hang a variety of tools as needed. This combination of storage worked very well for me -- everything is very quickly to hand, and easy to return to its place, keeping things well organized.
I hope some of this will give you ideas for your storage needs!
