Sys az dimensions

[VW mick]

Hi guys

I'm building some sys ports at the moment

Could someone give me some accurate dims of the front of the drawer .as I'm thinking of making something similar in oak

Here's what you need...

Did you mean the cabinet dimensions for the drawers, or the actual SYS-AZ drawer itself?

 

[VW mick]

Thanks that's really helpfull

But I'm actually looking for some dims of the front of the drawer as I'm thinking of making the actual drawers and wanted to make the front rail In a similar profile

 

[VW mick]

Yes Gary the actual drawer front

 

[GarryMartin]

The plastic elements are 422mm wide and 57mm high.

I've got one here in front of me now, so if you wanted to know anything else, now is the time to ask! ;-)

[EDIT - incorrect height stated originally]

These are the dims I'm after

Hope it makes sense

I know it's not that clear .but the arrows relate to the drawer not the sys

 

[VW mick]

To be honest now I've looked back at my post

It all just lines up with the sys

 

[GarryMartin]

Let me know if you need anything else. Don't know what the radius would be, but I've measured a couple of points so if you're any good at maths, or fancy some trial and error with a point and a piece of string, I'm sure you can figure it out!

P.S. I've updated my earlier post as the height was incorrect - I'd started measuring from 10mm in on the ruler and forgot to take it off!  [embarassed]

 

[VW mick]

Thanks Gary that is spot on

Exactly what I required. That's the reason I joined the FOG

There will be an update on my sys port build probably in about 6months lol

I'm considering building cabinets with the SYS-AZ and I'm not clear on how each shelf relates to the holes.  From the documentation sheet it looks like the dark clip under the shelf screws into a mounting hole and then the actual shelf screws into the hole above it, so each shelf uses two vertical holes on each side.  So when using the LR32 system to drill the holes and the bottom pf the cabinet overlaps the sides, should I use the "16 up and out" setting for the LR32 stop or something else?  I'm thinking of making a miter stand which is the same height as the MFT/KAPEX with 100mm tall casters which leaves the cabinet sides 640mm tall and I'm trying to figure out if that's going to be enough to be worthwhile.

Hi,

Yes, the plastic clip screws into the lowest hole, then the drawer runner screws into the one above...

Check which Systainers (heights) you want to put in and if you can make it work on your dimensions.

I‘ve seen the Festool link above is dead, so here are the instructions again from Tanos:

Thanks for the info.  On page two of that document it lists the space taken up by the SYS 1 - 5, but I'm not sure of the notation since for example the SYS 1 is listed as some symbol +4.  So exactly how many holes are consumed/blocked by a shelf holding a SYS 1?

[member=14226]sprior[/member] 5 in all if it's the first one installed at the bottom. It's easier to just figure the first 2 being taken up by the first mount then go from there. I'm building a pair of sys ports now. They're 1024 mm sides for 32mm increments. I'll use 16 up and out to get my first set of holes then change it to 32 up and out for another set of holes.

So for my sysport with 32 holes available, I lose the first two because of how it's spaced/designed. That gives me 30 to play with. I could put a Sys 4 at the bottom, then I count up 11 and mount a slide. Now I'm down to 19. I can put three SYS-2 (6 holes each) with 1 hole unused if I'm reading everything right.

Edit: Math was wrong. You count up the # of holes in the manual to mount the next slide. So for a SYS 1 you have to count 4 holes to put the next slide up.

Noticed you had the width at 422mm vs the 427 from tanos...I suspect the 2.5mm clearance on either side is to account for warping or seasonal shrinkage from tanos...have you experienced any issues with the drawer sticking?

The original question I was answering was about the size of the physical drawer, not the size of the carcass for the drawer to fit into, hence the 422mm rather than 427mm. All my carcasses have an internal width of 427mm.

Thank you...that makes sense...stay safe.
