    R8 Collet rack wall mount

    Ever since I made my collet rack for my R8 collets it has been parked on my work bench where the mill is mounted and has always more of less been right in the way no matter where I moved it. I decided to do something about that by mounting it on the wall
    This is what I did, First I cut a pair of angle pieces out of aluminum and notched them to fit in the "E" track slots on the wall
    then drilled and tapped through the heads of the 1/2" socket head bolts to 5/16"-18 TPI.
    then just a simple slapping it on the wall was all that was required

    nice and orderly but obviously the boring head kit will not find this as a permanent parking place, it is only there for display purposes.

    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products
