For VWDAVE Festool router bit systainer

[Ken Nagrod]

Dave here are some pics that should help you out.  First is an empty  so you can count the amount of holes / bit size.  Second is the spacing. Third shows some of my 1/2" bits and that's as close as I'm comfortable placing them without any worries about the carbides touching.

Where are your Orange Tools, Ken?

I don't think I've ever owned an orange tool.  [embarassed]  Are you sending me any?  [cool]

Ken, what's the significance of the numbers written on you bits?

Willy, those are some of the cabinet door bits.  I have others that came as a set in wooden boxes that give the specs on the box.  The loose ones I've numbered so I can quickly match the stile and rail cutters with the raised panel cutters that I want to team up for a door and it also helps matching the glass panel cutter adapters and double profile adapters with the correct bits.  It gets very confusing and would have been a lot easier to just get them in shaper cutters, but I don't own a shaper.
So, to sum it up, it makes it easier for me to figure out what goes with what and assures me I pulled out the correct bit I wanted to use.  Of course, I need to re-mark them every so often.

Well, that makes good sense to me.  I figured you had a system, but didn't understand how it worked.  Thanks.

I want to make a wooden truck, something along the lines of that all wooden car.  I want to make it out of Ipe so it's tough, can take an impact and has good towing capability.  Any door dings could easily be fixed with a furniture crayon.  Would that work?
