RO125 sanding disk systainer

[Sparktrician]

OK, I know that this is not a new idea.  I just took the concept and modified it to accommodate my RO125's disks.  It's a Sys3, with the foam liners top and bottom, and a series of partitions to accommodate a multitude of grades of sandpaper, soft and hard pads, felt pads and platin disks.

looks nice even room for your pads!

Very Nice.
How did you do the insert?
I would like to do one for my 125 & also one for my RAS.

It's 1/4" Baltic birch, cut (notched) to interlock.  I didn't glue the partitions to permit reconfiguration as needed.  (Not that I intend to reconfigure; just accommodating future and unknown possibilities.)

Is it the bottom foam liner that holds the dividers parallel to each other?

Pretty much.  The partitions are cut high enough that they contact the foam on top and bottom which keeps them in alignment when the Systainer is closed.  I just had to ensure that they were parallel the first time I assembled it and loaded the disks in before shutting the lid.  The pressure seems to form slight deformation on the bottom foam which seems to keep them aligned.  I can easily disassemble it whenever I need to since there's no glue used.  It needs to be assembled in place with the long, side-to-side piece being the last installed due to the shape of the partitions which accommodates the contour of the front and back.  Also, the far right and far left partitions are shaped differently, too, again because of the contour of the inside of the Systainer.

If you skip the padding you can use a Sys 2.

Nice idea. And can store lots of grades. Even. Brice compacted it. (my first post from my new iPad!

Thank you Wille & Brice.

Both great ideas.

Looks like I have some projects for over the holidays.

Brice,

Do your blue labels stick better than the Festool labels? [big grin]

...Brice,

They stick equally well. I went with the painter's tape because it's such a fun game of "guess what's in the Systainer" when the labels fell off. [big grin]
