ABSTRACT:
A machine tool accessory apparatus is provided for use with machine tools, such as milling machines. The accessory apparatus is capable of holding a plurality of tooling accessories in an organized manner whereby each accessory is positioned for ready access by a machine tool operator without having the operator move from an operating position of the machine tool. The machine tool accessory apparatus includes a cabinet structure having at least one drawer structure slidably extendible from a front side of the cabinet structure. The cabinet structure includes an upper tray having a plurality of bores of adequate diameter for supporting tool accessories therein. A support arm is provided having first and second ends. The first end is pivotally mounted to the cabinet structure. The second end is pivotally mounted to a mounting structure adapted for mounting immediately adjacent to a sidewall of the machine tool. The support arm extends outwardly from the mounting structure for cantilever positioning the cabinet structure in a spaced apart relationship from the mounting structure. The cabinet structure is movable on the support arm from a first position to a second position with the first side of the cabinet structure in a vertical plane forward of the first position allowing the cabinet structure to be in close proximity to the machine tool operator located in an operating position of the machine tool.
