Home made sysport question

[dinkjs]

So my question is, those that have also built some type of home made sysport or variance such as mine (see below), how do you accomidate change in the future?  For an example lets say you have my setup of just a TS55 and a OF1400 in one setup.  How do you figure in a possible change in item into that space IE adjustable height drawer slides if possible or what other creative ideas do you to combat this situation in the future?  In my situation I threw this together just for the seer idea of only holding my TS55 and OF1400 and have no plans ever to change that.  But when it comes to lets say the other systainer types where there are multiple sizes to deal with and you might add or delete a systainer in the future?

Your feedback on this is appreciated

Build it using sys32 and use the sys32 slides with 5mm system screws, then u can move them.

Search the forum, lots of threads on this.

I've built a couple of sysports. I sized the drawers to the systainers I had at the time and was going to put in them. No adjustability. When I get more systainers, I just build another sysport.

I used a shelf support jig that gave me 1" spacing so I could adjust the shelves as you have mentioned. What I found was that by placing shelves in between the 1" holes I was able to get an extra narrow shelf for squares, rulers, marking knife, ect. For me, I found it wasn't that hard to move the shelves if I needed to.

I built mine based on the 32mm system.

Same here, the lr32 system by festool worked wonders when I built mine.

Best,

Started building a sysport a little like yours. Just finished building the Chaos wall with the LR 32 system, best way hands down as you can modify the drawer heights to fit your selection of festool.

I built mine to accomodate a specific combination max, and recognized that not one size fits all, but this fits a variety of Systainer setups.
I made some spacer jigs with hardboard (one for each Sys size)  that give me a pretty and easily repeatable offset, factoring in the drawer slide height, 1/2" ply sliding shelf and such.  So when I assembled my Sysports I just installed drawer slides from the bottom up.

If I want to change 'em up, I would remove the slide(s) in that Sysport and using the jigs setup a different offset.  This post will probably make more sense with pictures.. and I'll try to take some later tonight.

When I built my MFT Support System I just put the bottom board in and screwed the runners in to place. Then picked a tool box that I wanted to have close at hand put it on the board laid two bits of hard board on top and added the next board and screwed it in to place. I was working with very limited room between the base and the top.
I started with mostly classical Systainers and am now slowly replacing them with T Loc's which are just a couple of mm taller.
So I have to redrill and screw the board runners for the new boxes. Pain.
So my advice is to use the T loc dimensions when fitting the shelves
