Centrotec type insert

[andyman]

anybody know of any systainer inserts that have either slots for individual 1/4" shank bits or slots for drill bits ranging in size from say 1-10mm similar to the centrotec installer set, as I have a spare sys 1 I would like to put all my bits in
thanks

ye seen that one and few others, but would like them all to have individual slots or holders,  similar to a box of drill bits that all have individual holders or holes

What about ordering some kaizen foam?  You could customize the entire piece to whatever you want to fit!

Hi

Try workshop heaven they sell all manor of inserts and I know they do one for drilll bits

 

[andyman]

yes could do, but would rather buy something already to fit, but if there isn't anything available I will think about that

 

[andyman]

looked n their earlier (it's 1 of their sys I have spare) but cant see anything with individual slots

These models below do fit in the T-Loc DF systainers with the 3 compartements in the top of the lid.
Only 6 drills fit in there and 24 pieces of ¼" bits.
But you can only use 3 of them in the lid.

 

[andyman]

that's the sort of thing that I'm after,  I can see me utilising some cases I have got, I'll have a look in the morning

I am also trying to buy these inserts for months now.
Today they are only sold by Protool (black version) and not without the drills and bits.
The Festool ones should also be available in light-grey to match the Festool systainers.

From a good resource I was told the empty ones are supposed to come in May.

 

[andyman]

ah sounds promising I will post if i spot any thanks

Had a conversation with Festool in Wendlingen in autumn last year and was told the inserts in light grey will be availible soon. What ever that means, but the information was given zo me only once. On request this March I was told that these inserts are only available in black from Protool with Bits or drills. So I am waiting for May.

I would like to be able to get those. Are they available as parts from ProTool?

No the empty ones are not available from Protool (black) or Festool (light-grey) yet .

Yes, that makes sense doesn't it . I should have realized that when you said you'd been trying for months  :

Hmmm, maybe full ones would be good though  [smile]

Just call Festool and have them order the inserts from the Centrotec set for you. Thats what I did and I have been slowly setting up the kit myself, and slightly modifying it to my liking.

That won't do, I tried exactly that. The inserts are not available. I don't know why, but think it is on purpose.
