Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is CNC tool shelving?
CNC tool shelving is storage built specifically for machine shop tooling, holding toolholders, cutters, collets, and related components near the machines that use them. Unlike general purpose shelving, it is designed around the shape and weight of CNC tooling rather than boxes and cartons. CustomMHS carries the full line of Rousseau CNC tool shelving, backed by the manufacturer's warranty.
What configurations are available?
Four options cover most machine shop layouts. The Rousseau CNC Tool Drawer Shelving Unit combines open shelving with drawer storage in a single unit. Standard Rousseau CNC Tool Shelving provides purpose-built open shelf storage near the work area. CNC Tool Shelving with Adaptors adds holders sized to specific tooling so each item seats in a fixed position. Rousseau Mini-Racking offers a compact footprint for smaller parts and tooling.
Should I choose drawers or open shelving?
Open shelving gives the fastest access, since an operator can see and reach tooling without opening anything, which suits high-use items near an active machine. Drawers enclose tooling, keeping chips, coolant mist, and shop dust off precision surfaces, and they let you store more tools in the same footprint because contents are organized in layers rather than a single shelf face. Many shops use both, keeping frequently changed tooling on open shelves and less common or higher-value items in drawers.
When do adaptors make sense?
Adaptors are holders that fit the taper or shank of a specific tooling type, so each toolholder seats upright in a dedicated position instead of resting loose on a shelf. That protects cutting edges and taper surfaces from contact damage and makes it obvious at a glance when a tool is missing. If your shop runs a standardized tooling set across several machines, adaptors are worth the added cost. If tooling varies widely job to job, flexible open shelving may serve better.
How does CNC tool shelving help your facility?
Setup and changeover time is where the gain shows up. When tooling has a fixed home near the machine, an operator retrieves what a job needs without walking to a central crib or searching through mixed storage, which shortens the non-cutting portion of every changeover. Protected storage also extends tool life, since a chipped edge or damaged taper from loose handling means either a regrind or a replacement. Assigned positions make missing tools visible immediately, which reduces the quiet loss of expensive tooling that gets set down and never returned. Mini-racking adds the same organization for small parts and tooling in shops where floor space near the machine centers is limited.
