Question about stack of Systainers that equals Festool MFT

[DTSaskatoon]

I've been watching a few videos and planning some more projects when I get home to my workshop.  I own an MFT and a Sys-Cart as well as a few great Festool tools. 

I'm curious if anyone is aware of a certain combination of Systainers that will equal the height of my MFT.

Ultimately, my goal is to have a Sys-MFT on the top and the Sys-Cart on the bottom.  If the MFT is 900mm in height, the cart is (unknown) and the Sys-MFT is 105mm in height, what combination would create a rolling support for cutting larger sheets? 

Has anyone stacked up a combination of Systainers on a Sys-Cart to equal the height of their MFT? 

Thanks!

I just grab 'em and stack 'em. Never bother figuring out the combo.

I essentially do the same thing by stacking Systainer's on my CT26 (540mm), which also gives me a wheeled/locking platform to rest my Sys-MFT (105mm) on.

Since you already own the Sys-cart, just measure the height and reference the Festool catalog on page #38/39 for Systainer  measurements.

  Systainers are in 105mm increments except for the Sys II which is an in between size  at 157.5mm. Not sure on the new cart height. And make sure you get the cart height from the surface the systainers sit on rather than the top rim. I have feeling that it won't add up to work out exactly to 900. The old cart is 125mm which means 775 mm to make up with systainers...... 7.38 increments of 105 so that one doesn't work. I am pretty sure the new cart is a bit taller.

  From the floor 7 increments of 105 plus one Sys - II in the stack comes very close to 900.

Thanks for the feedback. 

If I was home, I'd be able to perform the measurements but since I'm at work, I'm reduced to looking up the heights online.  I'm confident that I'll be able to put something together when I get home.  The idea about stacking boxes on the vac is a good one that I hadn't considered. 

Update to follow with a photo once I get it assembled...

This is exactly what I'm looking to do too.  Waiting for a 3-drawer sortainer to go in the stack under the mft-sys to put all the clamps and qwas, etc in so they're not all over the mft top while working.  That way, i can roll it over to my 4x8 mft top I made for assembly, and keep the vacuum out of the way.  don't know if it will be level with mft yet though.
