Drill Bit Butcher Block // With this fixture...You'll NEVER Lose Another Bit! // #makethings

Today we're going to make this elegant fixture for the drill press. It will help keep all of our bits, be it forstner, spade or brad point, at easy reach. I'm proud to have this drill bit storage solution on my drill press, every time I go to use it. And you'll be thrilled to know that, besides this step by step video, I have a webpage that has a complete materials / tools used list as well as a set of files you can use to make the face of your new fixture. All absolutely free.

Ive been thinking about something like this for a while. Looks like the perfect solution!!❤

[FixitFingers]

Probably my next workshop build will be similar to this, but think I'll do a little cabinet to match the existing look of the shop. Also, my press is the adorable little Bosch one that the motor moves up and down the pole so I couldn't mount a block there. Great stuff Rob!

[robertdiffin]

Great design - I’ll be making this one. 👍

[MCsCreations]

Brilliant, Rob! Fantastic work! 😃
I made some of those, but much simpler and one block for each type of drill bit, let's say... But your way is much better!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Great design, necessity is mother of invention!

Nice video. Useful organization project. When returning the spade and forstner bits, aren't the tips too hot to touch? Just wondering. Mahalo for sharing. 🙂🐒

i generally like this set up. Mine is kinda similar to your set up sort of. but the only thing i do like it all the sharp bits are facing you but you have it up high enough that probably wouldn't matte but a small bench top drill press might be a bit more sketchy. But really good looking bit holders

[Pyronics]

Love the Idea, will give it a shot! Thanks for posting.

[neilgriffin]

I like the consept will take your idea and modifie to suit . my drill press is to small

[robertmccluskey]

Cool…I am going make something similar

[jasonthomas]

That's handy as a shirt pocket, might have to make one or 3

[valeriehenschel]

Would love to see a shop made drill press hold down.

[thomasclemens]

I like the idea but I need to take many of the bits to use for my handheld drills. What do use to make them available for your handheld drill. I know you don’t use a handheld drill for a Forstner bit or… But for everything else I do.

[karledman]

Nice idea, thanks for sharing. Do you ever have to use metric or number drills?

[MarkMcCluney]

That wig is you Rob. I knew you always reminded me someone...

[johnmack]

How do you pull the Forstner bits OUT, without running the risk of stabbing your self?

[TheMessyStudio]

Organization is something I need to be better about. I try, but...

[truth-oxwz]

Looks like a lot of work to store those cheap crappy drill bits, Forstner bits, and spade bits
