Question regarding router bit systainer

[dinkjs]

Can you put Raised panel router bits into this systainer or are they to tall?  Also what about Whiteside Spiral cut bits?  These are the only ones I am worried if they will fit or not...the spiral cut bit is rather long...it is a 1/4" cutter

I get my 3 1/4" long Freud 1/4" flush trim bit in there, but I have to put it in a spot that avoids hitting a rib. You can put Raised panel bits in there but you won't get many.

In my opinion, the Sys1 is too short for router bit storage. I purchased the insert and put it in an unused Sys2.

I've got the Sys 1 classic version of this, so it might not hold true if you are looking at the Tloc version.

Yes, both to the raised panel bits and the Whiteside spiral ones, though on those you do have to find a spot where the lid ribs won't hit it. The raised panel bits are going to chew up a lot of real estate in there, though. I've got so many bits in there that there's no room for the raised panel ones.
