Qctp Rack Sytem

[taycat]

There was one a couple of months ago, a sheet of aluminum with flat angles riveted to it in columns, it looked like it could hold 3 or 4 dozen tool holders.

That may have been mine not at comp with pics on or at home but think it holds 45.
Not sure how to link it using kindle.
Works a treat as mounted between my two lathes that both use same tool holder.

This what i made using Cantruss and aluminum angleView attachment 110418 View attachment 110419

I think that rack is clever. Simple, quick, inexpensive, adjustable; excellent.

Good morning to all!
I tried the search and came up empty. I'm thinking of machining an aluminum QCTP rack that I can mount to the end of a workbench located near the lathe. Anyone have any cool ideas and photos of said rack system?

Here's another thread containing what you're searching for: http://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/lathe-tool-storage-racks.27940/

Zmotorsports made one using Superstrut mounted to the back splash. I just copied it using 1.25 aluminum angle cut to 1.6" pieces which are attached to the Superstrut twist in nuts. The aluminum won't hurt the tool holders. Get about 15 holders in 2 feet. Must say I do like taycat's.

Here is my ugly but functional holders.
I didn't have any metal material so I used 2x4 wood cut down to 1 1/2 to 1 5/8 and then cut double 30* angles so I could mount two holders on each block and screwed the blocks to a 3/4 x 1 5/8 strip of wood for mounting
