CNC plywood to fit Systainer

[bobberner]

Hey,

Anyone with a CNC machine interested in cutting plywood inserts to fit the bottom and top portion of a systainer for me? My thought is to have a bottom piece and top piece that could joined by appropriately sized vertical pieces to fit any height systainer. Festool sells the Tool Organizer - 497658 and I am thinking the bottom and top are the tricky bits to get right. The end user would make all the holes to fit whatever tools or items they want to carry or store.

Anyone interested?

Probably a CNC shop within a short distance of you.

Make a template from a Systainer insert you already have, then make all all the plywood inserts you want! May not be absolutely perfect, but it will still look good. After all don't you own tools to make stuff?

Heck stuffed into the bottom of a Systainer and covered in tools who is ever going to see it?

I just cut mine out with a ts55 and didn`t worry about the round bits in the corner, just cut a rectangle in between those fiddly corner bits and it fits well, use the central spine in the front for alignment by cutting a notch.

I agree with the above comment, cnc is overkill for this, unless you own one already.
There is a thread with several good designs on here somewhere.

Make yourself a template out of pieces of card stock carefully taped or hot-glued together.  Use card stock, not corrugated stock.  It's really a piece of cake.  Make appropriate cut-outs for the ribs/stiffeners, and don't forget to allow for the hinge when you pull the insert out of the Systainer.
