Bench Footprint for Care Bit Box

The Care Bit Box requires a compact bench footprint so it fits neatly into common South African shop drawers. Clearances for the lid are standard. Place the box where access stays simple during a shift. The shadow-foam insert demands a flat, stable area, minimum 350 by 400 millimetres. No extra wiring comes with the kit, so you will not need a dedicated plug.

Organise the box close to other precision tools so staff can finish a job and move straight into the care ritual. If you end up with a doubled row, be careful to keep dull and sharp lanes in their marked zones. Someone is bound to forget a wipe one day, so having oil and cloths within arm’s reach helps.

Tray Map and Internal Layout

Each Care Bit Box includes a shadow-foam tray cut for up to 40 bits, blades, and small tools. The foam map separates sharp and dull lanes with clear labels. All edges, except some oversized bits, will slot in place without forcing. Dull-and-sharp markers sit along the right and left edges. A section at the rear corners holds wipe cloths and a small bottle for light machine oil.

You must return all edges to the correct lane after cleaning. Place the included audit card under the foam when it is not in use. This keeps the card safe from dust and stray oil.

  • Capacity: Up to 40 edges in custom-cut foam
  • Dull and sharp lanes clearly marked
  • Accessory compartment for cloths and oil
  • Audit card storage under foam tray

Power and Placement Notes

The Care Bit Box is a manual kit and does not draw power. You can install it on any bench without planning for a socket. For best effect, it should be within eyesight of your main tool return area. This layout reduces the risk that your team skips the care step at close. Try to keep the box away from direct grind or coolant splash. A draught-free spot helps the oil last longer and keeps wipe cloths clean.
