I carry two trays of router bits to the jobsite, one with a hundred 1/4" shank, and one with a 100 1/2" shank bits. Recently I decided that I did not like the layout of the 1/2" tray, so I made one out of Azek as it was around. The other is white oak.
Fast forward......
I have been working in the shop all week and not at the sight since last Friday, a whole week. Had to run over there this afternoon and check something. There was a plumbing leak in the garage, and everything was damp. My bit trays were off the floor but close. I pulled bits out of the Azek tray, and there was not a bit of rust on the shanks. I pulled the bits out of the oak tray, and the shanks were totally rusted, and I had sprayed that tray down with oil at one point. Some are so bad that I am not so sure they will clean up.
So.... The moral of this story is: If you are making trays for bits, try Azek.:p
