SYS-AZ Drawers -Video Review

[jonny round boy]

For those of you who use SketchUp and are looking to make your own sysports, I've made a quick template & uploaded it to the SketchUp Warehouse. You can use it as the basis for your own sysports. It has 3 columns and is 1000mm high, but you can alter the model to suit your own requirements.

I've done a short 2nd video just to follow up on a couple of points:

Hi Jonathan

I think that I am going to retire from video making - you are very good - well done.

If I were making sysports on castors I would make the finished height 900 mm so that I can use the top as an infeed, outfeed or general support at the same height as the MFT3.

Hi Jonathan,

Just a quick suggestion is that it would be helpful if you increase the default volume of the videos? I have you on maximum volume and am still finding it a little hard to hear you.

Thanks again for the update and the sketchup - very helpful. Australian pricing has been announced at $AUD69 per drawer.

Cheers!

Yes, sorry about the lack of volume. I'm new to this, and at the moment I'm filming them on my phone & using the in-built microphone. I *think* I've discovered how to increase the volume in the editing process- hopefully it will be far better on the next one.

A tip I picked up some time ago...

If you have two phones (or a phone and a camera, or a voice recorder or similar), record video on one and use a lapel microphone to record the audio on the other. Use a loud clap or something similar and you can easily sync the video and audio from the two sources in most editing software.

Do you have a video on how to make that slate marker - using Festool products, of course?

Hi Bill

You need to look for a Photoshop video to make one of those  [smile]

Jonny, super nice presentation!

I am building a cabinet that will use the SYS - AZ Drawers and I am unable to get the drawers through my dealer, their back ordered. In order to continue my cabinet build, I need  a question answered. If I have a space in the cabinet that contains a #4 Systainer and #2 Systainer, how high does the space have to be to contain the two systainers in two SYS - AZ Drawers, one for each Systainer. I am going to assemble the drawers utilizing the 32mm system, like you purposes on your video. Thanks.

Thanks for the videos Jonny  [thumbs up]

Just signed up as I've been looking for ideas on building a unit to house the drawers I bought last  October from FFX & have only just got round to doing something with  [embarassed]

Cheers.

Doug.

Jonathan:  Thanks for the VERY helpful videos and the SketchUp model.  I just got my two sets of Sys-AZ drawers yesterday and am hoping to build two Sysport cabinets this weekend that will have a detachable countertop in between them for a miter saw and room for another rolling cabinet or a shop vac underneath.  I will be using 18mm plywood and had a rough draft drawn out in SketchUp (see attached screenshot).  For the middle divider, I was going to drill the shelf pin holes all the way through, but I just I remembered a comment in your first video (at the 8:45 mark) noting the required 13mm depth for the shelf pin holes and suggesting doubling up on the divider width.  On your SketchUp model, you do show a single divider of 18mm plywood.  I am wondering if, after installing your drawers, you determined that a single piece of 18mm would be sufficient.  Thanks!

Very timely question for me.  I'm working on my MFT cart with matching sysport now.  How do you install drawer slides at the same height in side by side bays using the 32mm system with just one 18mm or 3/4" thick vertical divider?  Won't the drawer slide screws interfere with each other?

I believe, in one video, he referenced grinding them shorter so they would not hit each other.

If the supplied screws are Euroscrews then it is possible to get them (certainly in the UK) about 10 mm in length. That should mean that by the time the thickness of the runner is taken into account they should just miss each other in the middle of 19 mm wood.

I use 6.3mm x 10mm pozi screws from Woodworker's Hardware for this purpose.

 

[Doug B]

You could always utilise some of the other screw holes in the runners & so off set the screws thus preventing them meeting & then you would get away with using only a single piece of 18mm sheet material as a divider, or even slightly thinner. I used 16mm stock

 

[Mismarked]

Thanks for the suggestions.  I was not familiar with the screws but your comments made more sense after I unpacked one of the Sys-AZ drawers and actually looked at the Festool screws.  I managed to find a store here that had 20 of the 6.3 x 10mm screws in stock that I can use to start this weekend, and I will order some more.
