Lathe Tailstock Caddy

This is a tailstock caddy for drill bits etc to stop them rolling around on your tailstock when you are switching between tools.

The channel sizes are 6.5mm/1/4" (centre), 10mm/3/8" either side, then 13mm/1/2" on the outer edges with open ends to allow longer tools to stick out.

There are a couple of square magnet recesses on the base for 12.7mm square by 3.2mm thick magnets (1/2" x 1/8")

Designed for my WM280 lathe, this could however be adapted to other lathes. The Fusion360 file is included to allow you to modify and adapt as you want. I've also created a drawing (PDF) for those who would want to machine it from solid.

Inspired by a video Adam Savage did a while ago.
