CNC router bits and carbide cutting tools with tutorials and technical guides

SecureBits Cutting Tool Storage System

The reasoning behind the SecureBits Cutting Tool Storage System is very simple. Your carbide end-mills, router bits, drill bits and engravers cost good money and, as such, deserve a good home.

Many of the rotary cutters available today are shipped in cheap, flimsy packaging, most of which ends up in landfills. The cutters end up banging around in a drawer in your tool cabinet, or rolling around on the work surface of your CNC where endless small collisions with other bits gradually destroy the edges of the flutes and tips. Death by a thousand chips.

Premium grade bits, like PreciseBits, are shipped in stronger, impact resistant packs that are far more durable, but are often difficult to open. More than once, I have thrown a $50 router bit across the room while trying to pry apart the packaging.

Designed to be compatible with our 13mm single-bit tool packaging, the SecureBits rail provides a robust platform for storing, displaying and accessing your cutters. When properly assembled a fully loaded rail can drop more than 4 meters onto a concrete floor with no damage to the encased cutting tools.

Please note that the "13mm" designation refers to the maximum shank diameter that can be accommodated with this packaging format. It does NOT refer to the widths of the rail or tool pack inserts (plugs)! As such, the SecureBits system may not be compatible with tool packaging from other sources.

Configure your rail for maximum flexibility with SecureBits Tubes and Plugs.
