I made a tool storage rack to fit into a mechanic's chest. The tool storage rack measured 15 ¾” deep by 22” wide. This item could not be made in one piece on a Tormack CNC machine as their table only has an X and Y movement of 18” x 9.5”. My Novakon CNC machine easily handled the job as its table has an X and Y movement of 24” x 16”. The 18” x 9.5” provides a work area of 171 square inches and the 24” x 16” provides a work ares of 384 square inches. In other words the Novakon CNC machine has a 2.72 times larger XY work area versus the Tormach CNC machine.
The tool storage rack stores 165 items and is made using a one inch thick piece of Corian.
The attached pictures show the project. The last picture shows the tool rack mounted in the tool chest drawer.
