I was looking for a place to store my precision tablesaw tools close to the saw, and came up with this idea. Like many rip fences, mine rides on a hollow rail, which turns out to be the perfect place for a drawer. I made a long wooden one that fits into the rail and holds all of my favorite setup tools. It takes advantage of the unused space, and keeps my tools dust-free and close at hand.

While all five of the smaller units will collect chips efficiently when deployed properly, the 3/4-hp Rockler was just a bit more powerful in our suction test.
