Designed the new tool setup and breakdown workstation today! I'm super excited to start using this and getting everything organized neatly, which will make finding tools much easier!
We've got over a hundred slots for tool holders to sit on the top allowing all the machines to be completely broken down and all the tools put away at any given time. In the past, we would have issues of not enough places to put all the holders and would have to leave the VF2 with the unused.
It's going to sit on three rolling toolboxes with a big butcher block to use as the tabletop. Underneath the tools I left big open areas for tooldrawers to sit which will hold all the drill bits and reamers. Then on either end, there will be the tool-holder holders to take apart and set up the endmills for the machines. In the past, they would be set up on the mills themselves, which is handy for quick changes but doesn't make sense to go back and forth through the shop to pick up endmills and drill bits.
After the design was all finished I took advantage of the drawing section of Fusion360 and drew up some quick plans for the workstation, then printed it out and my boss sent it off to the shop next door to get it built.
