tool cabinet
A tool cabinet is a cabinet that is required to store hand tools, machines or machine tools. Wooden cabinets are mostly used to store carpentry tools, but also do-it-yourself equipment and group tool sets such as those used in schools and training centers. It can be stored hanging or in drawers as well as in block systems. Metal tool cabinets can be found mainly in vehicle workshops, assembly shops and in workshop vehicles. In the industrial sector there are special drawer cabinets in which drills, milling cutters, countersinks and other machine tools are stored in such a way that the sensitive tool sheaths do not touch and thus become blunt. High-quality designs are equipped with thermoformed inserts made of thermoplastic or with inserts made of foam, which have milled-out cutouts with precise dimensions for the tools to be stored.
Some tool cabinets are equipped with castors and can be easily moved from one workstation to another, for example from a workbench to a machine.
