Air Tool Rack

Evening Lads  :wave:

Not allot happening in the shop at the moment as I am going round doing all the small jobs that need sorting .One is a rack to store my air tools ,at the moment
they are in a bucket and generally lying around the shop getting in my way . The rack and other racks to come will be made from odd lengths of box  all exactly the right lengths .  :med:

 


The 40 x 40 box was setup on the mill like so to get it parallel to the ways .
 




Then using my Australian milling cutter  7 slots were milled .




Then the box was rotated 90 degs  and 7 holes poked into the side with a 20mm slot drill .




The reason for using box section is to stop foreign objects dust/grinding crap etc getting into the open PCL fitting .I also wanted a positive grip on the fitting ,me
being a bit of a klotz at times I did not want the to be easily knocked out . Test with a few air tools hanging like bats from a rafter .





A bit 3mm plate was cut and welded to make ends/brackets with my new welding gear , had the gear nearly 6 months now and its the first time I have used it . :dremel:





Made two one for each shop , a bit of a clean up and a coat of paint tomorrow .
