Tool Holder for Lathe Parts

[itchyTF]

Just thought I’d make something to improve tool storage.

I really like the vertical orientation. You just solved my space problem.

Nice, tidy!

Man that's the cleanest lathe i've ever seen!

Not quite vertical, they sit at 30 degrees.

Must be a "sales ad". Way too clean.
I WILL say, looks real good from here.
Do you take your shoes off when working?

Very nice tool holder. Looks like a floating reamer holder in the tailstock
For chamber a "gun" barrel.

No, I usually bring aluminum chips from the mill on my shoes to the carpet upstairs.

Looks like an Eisen.

Nope, a PM1340.

I have an extra dual holder. It’s for a BXA size. Someone can have it for postage.

That’s because I had just cleaned it plus it’s not used a lot.

No takers? Can use it as a template to make more.

After looking down and seeing greasy/dirty foot prints on the wall to wall, I too remove my shoes when I come inside. You do what you gotta do to keep Momma happy.

PM inbound for spare holder.

Yep And I found a similar tool holder for mine.

I wear dedicated lathe shoes and only wear them when using the lathe. I also keep my lathe clean. Takes just a few minutes and hopefully, a clean lathe will not wear as quickly.

I'd have to get free aluminum to use that style of holder. Much less mill intensive tool holders using 1/8"x2" roll pins in a piece of 3"x1/4" aluminum. Also a PM-1340GT.

Can someone take a wider angle picture of your lathes and how you're mounting these to the chip guard in the back? Trying to get a few ideas for what I want to do.

I can't remember where I got mine, but it's similar to this from Grainger:
