Festool Corredera SYS-AZ

Product Information

We also offer combination toolboxes with space for cordless and corded power tools along with accessories like screws, cables and nails. You could opt for a fusion of tool box and accessory container like the SYS tool box, or go for the SYS-StorageBox, with its swivelling components tray and adaptable range of plastic containers.

Festool's Sortainer range offers another storage solution. Products like the classic Sortainer provide storage drawers that can be easily divided to fit the profile of your accessories. They work well as an accompaniment to our tool boxes, or you could choose a fusion of the two like the SYS-Combi. One thing I changed after building my first cabinets was the top. I switched from a full piece to two cleats, simply to stretch my material. I’ll be putting a countertop over the whole bank of cabinets so I don’t need full tops. Does anyone NOT use systainers, and store their Festools (at least the most used) in drawers in a tool chest, whether commercial or self-made? I’m now deep into the project of clearing out our garage to the best of my ability. I will have one bay of 3-car garage for permanent use for tools, with shelving, eventually cabinets, around the outside walls. Given multiple hobbies and wife’s storage needs, there remains little room for a Chaos-Theory wall of systainers.

I wanted my drawers to pull out far enough that I could open the Systainer and retrieve a tool, without removing the Systainer from the drawer. I determined that 14″, full extension drawer slides would allow for that. My cabinets are 14 1/2″ deep because I want the false drawer front to recess inside the cabinet and I’m using 1/2″ MDF for my false fronts. Building Festool Systainer DRAWERS If you want to see more details that you can see on the small photos of my plans in this post, I’ve included full sheet PDF’s for both the Cabinet plans and the Drawers. As I write this up, it seems odd that I was THIS frugal with my lumber. I think I was using up all the lumber I had on hand because this was somewhere around full-on “shelter in placing” on account of CV19 and I didn’t want to get lumber that I didn’t absolutely need. I have a large HD Husky “mobile workbench” with very nice drawers, but they’re full without using any drawers for the Festools. This wall is wonky as all get-out so I had to shim the wall cleat so it would be flat. More Drawers

The cabinets have a center divider so you get two columns of drawers in each cabinet. You could certainly build single cabinets but it would use more material. You could also certainly build a triple column cabinet but once they get too big, they’re hard to handle. A double was about my limit. Sizing the Cabinet for Drawers Width I didn’t spend too much time configuring drawers until I got all my cabinets built and installed on the wall. I just put in enough drawers to put in some Systainers and see if I’d planned well and I could open the lid and easily get to the tool inside. Once I tested out my initial cabinets and drawers — I built 2 more “double” cabinets and what felt like a gazillion more drawers. Installing Cabinets on French Cleats One of the most popular products featured within this range is the Systainer SYS-Power-Hub. Supplying power to up to four power tools simultaneously, this system features an integrated power cable in SYS-TAINER format. This may sound funny, but my solution to this are systainers and - in general - standardized cabinets/shelfs/containers etc. Quote from: Stan Tillinghast on May 29, 2020, 07:10 PM I’m now deep into the project of clearing out our garage to the best of my ability.

Given multiple hobbies and wife’s storage needs, there remains little room for a Chaos-Theory wall of systainers.Again, I used the simplest construction method possible to get the first batch of drawers built. 1/2″ plywood, glue and nailed together. Festool's Systainer range of tool storage systems offers professionals and home users an ergonomic, safe and easy to use way to store their Festool products. I have probably shared all these tips before in Cabinet Building 101, but I’ll bulletpoint a few for your convenience. It’s easier to prime and paint BEFORE assembling. If you’re using wood glue as part of assembly, don’t paint. Wood glue generally adheres to primed wood though so go ahead a pre-prime regardless.
