SYS-AZ Drawer Slides Replacement Part?

[onocoffee]

I thought of this because I saw this question on the FB FT group and since I have a SYS-AZ drawer that's missing the slides. The OP had asked about alternative slides because the FT replacements were almost the price of the drawer. I looked it up on EKAT and sure enough Part 100016122 is $51.20 while the entire SYS-AZ drawer is $53.00! That's just stupid.

So now I'm wondering if there are alternative slides that can be used? Thanks!

You have the drawer-side, and missing the cabinet-side? It's not likely that they did some proprietary thing, though I wouldn't bet on it. They might have done some odd detail to them, but I would assume that one of the big manufacturers made them, un-branded. Blum, KV, Grass, it might be worth testing? might also be a tail chasing exercise

Yes, exactly. Evidently, the OP in the other forum said that he checked awhile back and it used to be around $20. Now it is what it is. I'm not building the cabinet I was going to use them in yet, so I'm in no rush. But I'll keep an eye out. Figured I'd drop the Q here since someone here usually knows who or what is behind all the products Festool puts out. I do have some other complete SYS-AZ so I'll see if there are any marks on them. Thanks.
