SYS-AZ Slides Planning

[AfterTheory]

I'm building a wall-mounted lower cabinet for systainer storage using the SYS-AZ drawers, and want to make sure I am allowing the right amount of vertical space. Looking at the instructions, it seems to suggest that if I allow 800mm of interior space, then I could fit a 337+187+187 in one bay. Can someone help me understand the symbols and logic next to the measurements provided by Festool? For example the 187 requires an additional 37mm while the 337 only requires an additional 15mm. Do the numbers (e.g., + 7*) refer to the number of LR32 holes required, and it's just that some sizes are more efficient?

I can't answer your question, I have only used the SYS-AZ drawers once, mostly make my own systainer drawers. I do have a suggestion. The last time I made a systainer cabinet, I used the LR32 to make holes at 16mm intervals. That has made it easy to rearrange the drawers as my needs changed.

Hope this is helpful.

I made 6 systainer cabinets on wheels a number of years ago, using the SYS AZ drawers and also made my holes at 16mm spacing instead of the 32mm spacing.

As @rmhinden said, It just gives you a bit more adaptability as time goes on and future tool systainer cases change.
Obviously, it takes longer to drill the extra rows of holes, but it was certainly worth it from my own personal experience.

16mm spacing is a great idea, thank you.

Systainers before the weirdo Sys^3 were multiples of 52.5mm (+7mm feet; count once per stack). The new Sys^3 are multiples of 50 and then have 30 (+7 for the feet) added once. Except the 112... which was kept at the same height as the previous Systainer T-Loc 1 and Systainer Classic I. Neither divide nicely by 32, so different Systainers result in different gaps. The drawer itself isn't zero-thickness either of course.
