Seeking suggestions:router bit storage in router table

[Stephen Edwards]

Hi Folks,

I posted this earlier in the general woodworking and power tools forum. No replies there so I thought I'd try here.

Someone recently posted photos of their shop built router table with a drawer for the bits that I really liked. When you opened the drawer the bits were stored on 3 or 4 stacked "shelves" on the right side and was open on the left side. For the life of me I can't find that thread now.

If anyone can direct me to that thread, or any other threads for storing router bits in tall, narrow space built into a router table I would appreciate it. The clear space in my table for this router bit storage area is appx. 5 inches wide and 26 inches high and 24 inches deep.

I liked the way the OP had their bits stored. Looked like a great way to use that narrow space. It would be helpful for me to see the photo again. I'm thinking for my table I might do one single panel/drawer that slides out and there's all the bits neatly stacked in rows. Seems like the storage was slightly angled.

Thanks for your help.

Like boxes like these?

Or maybe this is what you were looking for?

Thanks Sonny. This pic in the thread above that you suggested is close:

The specific pic that I saw in a previous thread was actually a drawer in the table with bits stacked the same way as in the cabinet in the link above. The cabinet pic is a big help! I think I can work it out from there.

Thanks again.
