Kennedy 3611 Machinist Tool Box & Kennedy 5150 Mid Chest - Mount On Roller Cabinet & Quick Review

I replaced my over 40 year old Beach Machinist tool chest with a new Kennedy 3611 Top and Kennedy 5150 Mid Chest combo. I fabricated an aluminum strip so I could make a lip on my Husky work bench and keep these from sliding off.

There seem to be some mixed reviews on the quality of these Kennedy tool boxes. For me, it is very hard to find a similar tool chest with a lot of small drawers for your delicate machinist tools. Overall I am happy with the quality of these Kennedy boxes. There are two drawers that are a little sticky, I am hoping they break in over time.

My entire machine shop is carefully placed inside a one bay garage space, so I am always looking to maximize my organization and storage of everything. These Kennedy boxes do a nice job of storing all my machinist tools.

Thanks for watching!

I paid full price for these tool chests and I am not sponsored by any companies at this time.

After I got into machining a few years ago, my boss told me his dad was an engineer for NASA and worked on Apollo 13. He gave me a whole bunch of machining tools, including an old Kennedy tool box. He had a garage full of machining stuff, but he never learned, so he gave me everything. He had buckets full of drill bits and end mills. He told me that at NASA back then, they would use a drill bit to drill 1 hole, then throw it away. Same with endmills, one use, then discarded. It was the standard rule back then, not sure now. Now I got more machining stuff that I could ever need. The one thing he couldn't give me was a cool portable mini lathe that you can take with you anywhere.

If you move the hinges on the lid forward from the middle pivot point it’ll stop the lid fully closing.

kennedy makes three or four different lines of tool boxes. A couple lines have ball bearing slides. For service or fleet mechanics. Prices are very reasonable compared to the tool truck guys. 👍 I’ll be buying a couple Kennedy boxes very soon.

Suurin voitto logiikalla (can-väylällä) on omasta mielestäni mahdollisuus saada melkein ääretön määrä osia keskustelemaan keskenään ja säätämään itsensä riippuen muuttuvista muuttujista. Ja että voi ottaa yhteyttä osiin ja tarkastaa niitä etänä. Jos hyvistä osista rakentaa hyvin niin se toimii yleensä yllättävän hyvin. Sitten kun ottaa halvimmat mahdolliset osat kiinalaiselta nyrkkipajalta niin tietää miten käy...
Siihen katkaisijahommeliin niin siinä on hyvätkin puolensa kun ei menee sähköä ristiin rastiin ja että "aivot" tappaa syötön kun joku laite menee rikki niin palovaaran riski vähenee. Pakokaasujen käsittely on omasta mielestäni suurempi ongelma, ja huonot liitokset...

Added Same as before just bolt the box to the the exact same set up on my 295 roller.Easier to take out the drawers(safer) dill 2 1/4 holts and bolt to the bench .The galvanized clips are $ 65 for a bag of the top box to the riser.
