Dremel Tool and Bit Rack

Over the years I've acquired four Dremel Moto-Tools, each of which came with an assortment of bits, accessories, and tool parts.  And each time I needed a bit or accessory, I'd spend more time rummaging through the tools cases where the tidbits were stored than actually doing the work.  So I cobbled this rack together from "scraps of scraps" (literally).  I liked the finished result so much that I caved at the end and shot a coat of paint on the thing.


I took a partially tiered approach to laying out the rack.  Each of the two tiers has a double row of holes for the bits.  I used a 9/64" bit to drill the holes for the 1/8" shafts.  An 1/8" hole is a bit snug and since I ended up painting the assembly, I'm glad I did use the larger holes as the paint likely would have made an 1/8" hole too snug.

I drilled a few holes larger to have a place for holding the collets and extra collet nuts.  I added the end piece so I'd have a place to hang my collet nut wrenches.




And here's the view showing the other end.  The blue plastic box came with my last motor tool purchase.  I simply screwed it to the rack and will use it to hold sanding drums, polishing pads, etc.

I screwed some small rubber feet onto the bottom to keep the rack from sliding around.
