Speaking of cleaning the shop, tablesaw wrenches edition - EricU - 05-27-2018
I found the wrenches for my tablesaw arbor behind my bandsaw on the floor under a pile of wood. Not much good there, and I was about to change the blade for a plywood blade. It's fortunate I'm cleaning.
Should I just drill a hole in the front of the saw cabinet and install a hook for them? What have you done to keep them where you can find them?

magnets maybe?
my saw has a hook to hang them on though on the cabinet.

All my round blades and wrenches are in 2 special made drawers under my miter saw cabinet.

I use to just use some rare earth magnets and stick them to the front of the cabinet. Sine then I've added a cabinet under the extension, it has a drawer for the wrenches and other stuff like dado insert, etc.

Overhead on a joist (if available) can also be handy.

Attached to the cord near the plug.

Dado blade insert, blade wrenches, allen wrenches for motor cover/back plate, spare riving knife are all on a magnetic tool holder on the front of the saw.

that's a good idea. I was hoping one of the hard drive magnets I have sitting around would work, but they aren't very strong from the backside.

There are spare mounting holes on backside of the square tube for the rip fence. I installed a long bolt with about 3" extending out the back with a double nut. Hang the wrenches and table inserts on that. Not in the way of the fence sliding. Roly

[attachment=10654][attachment=10653][attachment=10653]A few years ago I sent my method of storing ts wrenches to a wood rag, and won $100 for the tip!
Wrenches are next to the plug, so you have no excuse to not unplug, when changing blades.
