Accumulated enough scrap plywood to fab up some Sysports------I cheated-------used the AZ drawers. I wanted mine mobile so how I installed the wheels.
Starts with a good template. [attachthumb=1][attachthumb=2][attachthumb=21]
Router with bushing and bit, fostner bit for counter bore.[attachthumb=3][attachthumb=4]
Boring the bottom, set depth to avoid penetration of the bottom of the port.[attachthumb=5]
Ez-Loc threaded inserts, 1/4-20x13 mm, set with 6 mm allen driver.[attachthumb=6][attachthumb=7][attachthumb=8]
Inserts installed.[attachthumb=9][attachthumb=10]
1/4-20 round head bolt, wheels installed.[attachthumb=11][attachthumb=12]
Top bored through to join stacked ports. Use wheel template for alignment to inserts.[attachthumb=13][attachthumb=14]
1/4-20x 1-1/4" flathead bolts to secure stack.[attachthumb=15]
Stacked [attachthumb=16]
Loaded[attachthumb=17][attachthumb=18]
What code violation [wink][attachthumb=19]
The inserts[attachthumb=20]
Waiting for a few more drawers to arrive. About another 16 of these ports and all the Sys's will be off the floor or being stack on shelfs (except the 6 Maxi Sys). One drawback to the T-Lock Systainers is you have to lock the Sys to close the drawer. I may remove the latch while they're in the ports.
