Basic tooling for the Sherlines is carried in four Bosch L-Boxes. Below each is shown with a brief explanation.

The top of the first box holds materials and projects in process.

Under the materials is the start of the tooling. Lathe QCTP with holders, boring head, collet blocks, draw bar, drill chucks and arbors, low profile vice, lathe die holder, backside cut off tool, ER20 collet holder for lathe, and steady rest.

The next box is closer to a toolbox.

Lotsa stuff here, lathe and mill tools, chuck jaws, end mill holders, tie downs, boring bars, loctite, small telescope gages, test indicator, micrometers, dial indicator, a few reamers, calipers, etc. The toolbox that lives in the trailer contains other standard tools, allen wrenches, crescent wrenches, screw drives, hammer, etc.

The third box contains the larger tooling components. Three and four jaw chucks, tilting base, Sherline riser blocks (1" & 2"), lathe tail stock, three toolmakers vices, face plates, and tooling plates.

The fourth contains cutting fluids, drill bits, taps & dies, a tiny broach set and a set of parallels.

The two drill sets are fractional (inch) up to 3/8" and numbered. Both sets are screw machine length (stub) drills.

The Bosch boxes link together but when combined are too heavy to carry. Should keep them from sliding around too much though.

Finally there is a large box (I sneak this one on top of the SUV while the wife isn't watching).

This car top box has a clamp on vice, sawzall, various small fasteners for engines and a tiny Harbor Freight grinder. Hopefully the grinder is up to grinding small HSS tools. The hand drill is included more for general use than machine shop work.

Don't know till I start using it if I have all the tooling I need, and/or what tooling I'm carrying around that I don't use. In one sense it looks like too much, but then again it could be too light. Only time will tell.
