I found this on ebay on a buy it now.  I phoned the guy up & he said he had plenty & would be ordering more.  He also said he could get other systainers also & if all ordered at the same time there would only be 1 delivery charge.  I thought 29.99GBP for a tanos systainer2 with insert for the multimaster was a good deal & will be ordering 1 soon, along with a couple of other systainers for other tools.
I did ask him if he could get different coloured catches for tool recognition etc but he had never heard of that.  He did say he would look into it & he was pretty confident he could get them.  The guy seems really helpfull & anyone looking for systainers should give him a call.  I think his name was Barry, but that could be totally wrong

If anyone in the US is interested in this you can find it here

Right.  We can get it, but for 86 instead of 48.   

I'm not sure but once i get it i will have a better idea.  The price is good, but if you were to buy extra systainers then the cost is a good bit cheaper due to only 1 carrage charge.
Another idea for extra blades etc would be the holder thingy (sorry, don't know what it is called) that attaches to the inside of the lid.

I should be ordering some time next week (if anybody decides to pay me that is  ) so will know better on what room etc is in it then.

I have my multimaster in a sys 2.  No inserts.  All the old blades and sandpaper keep it from flopping around.     All those dead blades represent a large amount of expense.  Maybe one day someone will discover a way to easily grind new teeth into them.

Sawcut Press



I came across this at a large woodworking fair last November.  It's a Belgian company, but at the time where still in development and couldn't give me a price quote.
They had a demo unit and it worked quiet nice.  You really cut new teeth and are not regrinding, this means that all your blades will be the same.  Not usable for your metal cutting saws.

That is neat.  Too bad I can't read the website.  It would be neat if they had a similar tool to do the segmented semi round blades.

The 24 mm refers to the size of the closed end wrench that's supplied with the press. (from the looks of it they use the device to cut the wider type blade).

Brief translation:
You have to secure the press firmly in a benchvise or screw it down to a bench before using it.
First you use the supplied wrench to adjust the opening, so the blade just fits in between the cutters, then slide the blade in against a stop, apply cutting-oil, press down on the blade with your left thumb and turn the wrench further till the blade is cut (requires a fair amount of force).

After the blade is cut, the teeth need to be set, this is shown in the last picture. (put it in the groove meant for this purpose and bend the blade forward untill it touches the rearend of the bottom cutter.)

For those that can read French, in the top right corner of the website there's a box that says "Nederlands", you can toggle the language to French there.

Pete, what did you make your insert from & do you have any pics of it.  Johnny round boy has a nice set up for his but i have the complete set with all the sanding attachments etc & thought the insert would take care of them all.  Is it the full set you have ?

Cheers, Woodguy.

Hey Woodguy. Yes, it's the Multimaster Top, though I don't carry all the bits and pieces with me. It's just made from an MDF base with a couple of partitions glued in place. I don't have any snaps to hand - I'll bang a couple off tomorrow and post them here.

Cheers, Pete

OK, the insert I made for my Multimaster starts out just as a 6mm MDF base, shaped to fit a Systainer, and with 12mm MDF partitions glued in:-


These take the Festool coloured boxes that house the blades and accessories...


And the whole thing just drops into a Sys 1 with the Multimaster...


There isn't that much space for the MM to rattle around in there, but if you were worried about it it's easy enough to add some padding for protection.

Edit: OK I give up trying to get the images inline with the text - life's too short and you get the idea, right?

Very cool Peterm   

Pete, insert looks top-notch; my only concern is the added weight from the MDF.  I don't work with it often but I remember building custom TV frames out of it and I nearly killed myself lifting a sheet onto my tablesaw.

i think i might do the same thing with mine, i bought 3 empty Metabox cases awhile back and have not used them yet so heres a good use for one of them.

I came across the link in my favourites, and I finally called them yesterday to inquire about the price of that sawcut press.
The price is 509 Euro without tax, which doesn't make it interesting to me.
I mainly use the long sawblades with 70 mm cutting depth, those blades have deeper teeth, because they are used at a lower speed setting; and the bimetal ones, which cannot be recut.
