Holy crap dude you packed more in there than I’ve seen in a long time…and mine are packed.. and very clean too!
But what is the story behind four (?) different brands of screwdrivers?
Gridfinity storage for all the Leigh FMT jig bits and bobs.
The storage trays they ship for the pin guides are just terrible. So I designed a single bin that holds them all on their sides and tightly packed. Also added a custom bin for the router bits and the centering mandrel (black one is the what comes from Leight, aluminum one I had machined locally for better accuracy).
And I'm done with this for awhile, need to stop rabbit holing on tool storage and get some projects done.

Yeah, I feel your pain. I've been accused of being a collector......only to be defended by someone else, saying "Oh, no. He uses all of them."( I'm the KING of tool justification!!!).
Thanks......I think? LOLBambu H2D has a laser option.
Just sayin....

I've been planning the addition of the Sortainers to my Incra Router Table for months. Did the custom color handles and loc thing, but now that it's installed, I'm a bit... well, disappointed.
Not because the Systainers aren't of good quality. They are. Maybe partially because I envisioned they would hold everything better than the M187 and M237 Systainers I had been using (not as I had hoped), but mostly because they look pallid.
Since it's an Incra table, I wanted to use Incra colors and get away from the Festool trim. But it turns out those trim colors make the Systainer come alive. Otherwise, it's just monotone white and, like I said: rather pallid looking. Maybe it's also the white cabinet since it doesn't offer any contrast, like on the table saw cart.

I was at a ReStore strolling around and was about to leave when I spotted the Systainer sitting there. For $30. And a stack of five SYS-AZ drawers for $25 each.Helluva find.
What was the cost?
But it's very rare to find Festool anything at the ReStore.

I have two sizes of the Keller Dovetail Jigs and wanted to set up a systainer to hold the routers and bits that go with them. I dedicated a pair of Dewalt trim routers for use with the Keller model 1601. I have the bits set for my most used wood thickness and since I surface prep my own lumber, I thickness it to the correct dimension for cutting dovetails with the Keller jig.
The inserts were 3D printed, three separate pieces, that are held in place by the crossribbing in the bottom of the systainer. If anyone is interested, I can provide the STL files that I created and used.

Since getting a skew rabbet plane from Lee Valley, I've never figured out a good place to store it. And then after picking up a small plow plane and a box-makers plow plane during the recent "seconds" sale, decided to store them in a systainer. After a lot of trial and error with my 3D printed inserts, this is what I ended up with.
Once again, they use the cross-ribbing in the bottom of the systainer to maintain their position, and unless you were to turn the systainer on its side, they don't move at all.
There was enough room alongside the small plow plane to add storage for a large number of the blades for the two joinery planes and if I continue to add to the assortment I already have, I can add additional storage in the free space next to that insert.
I had enough space left next to the box-maker plane on the right insert that I added a place to store a Veritas side rabbet plane as well.

Nice setup! I hope you get the Canadian T-Loc replacement latch for that box as it's pretty appropriate! The Veritas side rabbet plane is so useful at fixing my mistakes. So in that sense, I hate when I need it haha!

I don't know. If I put the Canadian latch on my current systainer, I'd then have red, white and blue together, which might provide a "mixed" message. I'd probably need to move it all to a red systainer to have it look proper, LOL.

These rarely travel to a job-site. I gave my Stanley 45 a systainer of it's own.
