To my shame and niggling irritation this has been my storage of all the router bits I’ve accumulated so far.
I know, I know.
But with the arrival of an exciting delivery from across the seas I’ve now got some of proper bits to store and this won’t do at all.

The material is 2 pieces of 5mm foam board (either styrene or PVC, not really sure)
It’s not totally right; I skipped zeroing Z after my last job so the base, which should have had 3mm pockets in the 5mm material, cut right through but it still works. The spacing is big so I can put labels beside the bits. I’ll see if I feel the need, I’m okay with it as is so far.
Not the biggest or most creative project you’ll ever see but it’s a little QOL improvement.
When I built my workbench earlier this year, I only owned like 3 or 4 router bits. I didn’t know what size or how many router bits I would end up with, so I designed my router bit storage to hopefully serve me for the long term with both 1/4" and 1/2" shank holes.
I honestly didn’t know if I was going to like it when I did it, but now I’m glad I did because it lets me move everything around freely with different head sizes on the bits, etc.
At the time, I almost added 1/8" holes too for Dremel bits but I convinced myself I wasn’t going to need it.
