5C collet drawer organizer

[jeremysf]

Quick project to make a 5C collet drawer organizer from some thin plywood. An hour or so with a hole saw (1.25” on 2” spacing) and some black spray paint and I think it turned out pretty good!

That is nice! I have been heading that way for a while.
How did you arrive at that set? I have the small set, divisions of 1/16, with a few additions.
I cannot find the "fill in" set of collets by 1/32 or 1/64.
Must I sell the 1/16 set and put that money towards the 1/64 set?

I swear I found a fill in 5C set way back... ebay seller?

Looks good.

That looks great! I plan to buy the grizzly southbend oak chest that holds 5C collets. But i plan to make nylon bushings bc my SB uses 3C.

Full in as needed. No reason to buy the rest until required

Just for fun, you could add some visual aids, to make it easier to find a given size collet - either outline the even eighths sizes with a silver Sharpie, or add labels. I've found this to be nice timesaver for drill indexes, etc.

Exactly what I did with my set ups. I went with 72 hole racks (8 x 9 hole pattern) with the 9-holes on the horizontal. The left edge is labeled 1/8 and 1/16 on the appropriate rows. Makes it easier to find the 1/2" collet by running across the 1/8" row.
