Kapex Station

[Craftsman71]

I have completed my Kapex bench / Station

Very nice. I like the portability of it being on wheels. Looks like you need to build another sys port for all those systainers parked on top!

And a fine station it is!

Some great ideas there!  Very nicely done.

Thanks for sharing.

That is so nice! Does the dust extractor hose exit out the back?  I can't tell from the picture.

That is a nice Kapex stand and sysport.

I like it. Great work. And so tidy!  [eek] [big grin]

As I want to build something similar in the future, could you please publish some measurements. Don't worry if they are Imperial, I can convert to Metric!  [smile]

Thanks my next project will be the MFT/3 Stand with the remaining systainers a home

  Yes I have a 1 1/2 hole in the rear of the center cabinet that I cut and rounded over for all the hoses and plugs  The 35mm hose was cut down to right at 7' as well.

    The overall size is 100 1/2" by 24" using 3/4 inch plywood (18mm) and the unit is 42" high.  (I am 6'4" so I built this for my back)  I will pull my hand drawing and provide the individual sizes for the Sysports units.

8 - fully locking heavy duty casters
10 - Festool sysdrawers
4 - sheets 3/4 18mm plywood
1 - sheet 3/4 MDF
7 - 5.5 x 8 popular dimensional lumber

I used the 32mm system for marking out and drilling the sysport.  It was my first time using the new tool and wow what a faster solution! 

Thanks everyone for the kind words

You can usually tell when a guy caught the Festool bug.......when he post a pic and all his systainers are T-Locs.    [tongue]  [poke]

Just having some fun man.    Well done.  I like the touch of green on the vertical divider.

Drawers on top for the Kreg flip stops and miscellaneous items?

Oh yes I totally have the bug!  I love the dust collection that Festool provides. 

Actually the top are both torsion boxes and I use the Rockler t track (24") and Rockler fence system (32") with the Rockler flip down.  I went with torsion to ensure I could make the top dead flat.  This allowed me to buy a new Woodpecker 32" SERX ruler which I used to make sure the tops are true flat. 

I wedged the Kapex up to a playing card  higher then the two torsion boxes.

Overall this was a fun project and I plan on starting the MFT/3 Bench which will house the rest of my systainers and an assembly table where I will be storing all my Bosch tools.

[member=8352]erock[/member] the VACSYS kinda screws that up !!

I know these things are utilitarian, buts nice to see some colour rather than huge seas of beige
thanks for posting

 

[nclemmons]

That's a great design and nice collection of Systainers.  I like the higher height to reduce back strain.

Aren't those Sys-AZ drawers great for getting organized quickly!

Thanks for sharing -

[kevin clifford]

Thanks I spend a lot of time in the Garage its my version of a man cave and typically when my friends come over we are out there so I thought it was important to have some color  [big grin]
