R 8 toolholders and endmill rack.

Here us what I built to hold most if my tools needed at the mill. still trying to find my 3 inch boring head, it escaped.
this is far better than wood, easy to keep clean, ant warp or split , or get oil soaked..
it's 1.5 inch UHMW, cut off of a large hotel cutting board..

Great job! I've got some corian that is 12 x 12 that I'm going to glue together and do the same thing. I used the small ammo plastic boxes with some foam stuck down in the holes to store my router bits. Need to do similar for my lathe.

Too "In your face" for me.
I prefer to store my end mills in a drawer
with divider slots. Just looking at it makes
me feel like it is poking my eyes out.

Fancy, a Clarkson Autolock finding its way to Canada.

Is there another way to hold endmills ? It might be because we have the Royals on our currency lol..
TO Left of the blue bag , is my Coolant Induced 3/4 bore... RotoBroach arbor. I have pulled the coolant manifold off, as I use it a lot in aluminum, and lube by hand. I made it from 4140 I think it looks good..

Teflon is PTFE?

I have been sitting on a stick of 2x2x18 UHMW that I snagged 10+ years ago and have been contemplating making it a holder for the several big R8 tools I have. I should just go do it already

Poly Tetra Flouro Ethelene, or Teflon, the trade name, likely from Du Pont. There are greases based on ptfe for use with oxygen, Krytox and Fombulin.
