[Andy Sowers]

Anyone know where to get these guys? Trying to make some holders for my 1/2" router bits...

I use rubber ones from McMaster-Carr. Had I not already made the drawers for my bits, I would have used some LV ones simply because the style I was looking at had a bottom to them. http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...=1,46168,50736
But the rubber ones work fine for me and were cheap! Attachment 114120 I bought a bag of 1/2" and 1/4" ones. Jim.

Not sure why the picture isn't coming through. It will if you click on it.

Uhh...Why put grommets in at all? Just bore lots of shank-diameter holes in a block of wood. It's easier than what you're doing. It also that means you can pull a bit out with one hand, instead of holding the holder with one hand and pulling the bit with the other.

I think some people, depending where they live, are concerned with moisture being transferred via the wood. Not a concern in my area. I keep mine in plastic "tackle" boxes with desiccant anyway.
