A traditional style toolmakers chest will provide ideal storage and protection for your cutters and small tools.
As your collection of small tools increases you will need to organise them so they come easy to hand and help keep workspace clear and tidy.
Cutters, reamers and the like soon loose their edge if not properly stored. It may seem a bit of a luxury but believe me the traditional toolmakers chest has stood the test of time for generations of engineers and is a sound investment that will serve you well.
I used to covet such an item and considered several that appeared on ebay but many were in poor condition and went for more than I was prepared to pay.
