I built this quick for my sanders and abrasives ( ETS 125, RO 125, RTS 2 and abrasive systainers ) In my thinking I included a top drawer for my hand sanders
I have included a cutlist (PDF) and some photos'
On the cutlist I give credit to Matt Meiser for his formula for calculating size for the sysport
I now know I forgot to add for the 5" Abrasive Promo Systainer I have. ( the one on top ) [oops]
Measure twice cut once, even in the planning stage [eek]
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that need to measure....4 times...to get it right..... ;D
Great sysports. Being made out of wood is a great advantage. I haul a bunch of Festool to the sites I work.
Currently just locking them together and going.... But once on location I find locked together a pain and put them on some cheap plastic shelving to provide quicker access.
Wood offers the ability to create Towers(sysports) that will fit the vehicle and then be able to be moved on to the site.
To that purpose I'm thinking... would having the wooden sysport sit into a wheeled base be worth while for the following reasons.
1. Without wheels permanently attached I could create a docking station...so to say in the Vehicle to it can't roll/shift etc.
2. I could stack them on top of each other once on site... within reason..
3. I could set them in to a wheeled base to get them to the site from the vehicle.
4. When back in the shop or storage area. I have wheels.
Second question
the PDF shows a calculation that I'm not sure I understand.
Sum of systainers Height Plus # of systainers times 3/4 Equal Cab. height.
So are you saying measure the total stack locked together or each one by it's self. Can't we just get a table to show systainer 1 = XX, sys 4 = XX?
Let's say I have a stack that measures 90 inches made up of 10 sys. then times this by 3/4 to get 75? for cab height...Hmmmm
Or
Total of systainer height (please define how measured) + (number of systainers x 3/4 of an inch (if that this the thickness of the shelf material) = the Cab. height.... now tell me is this OD or ID.
Am I being clear about this? Please ask me questions.
What you built is great!
I would like to think this needs to be a standing project download as the Festool sysports are great but if they won't fit in the vehicle... we all have to build them to fit our needs.
Cheers,
Steve
