May I request someone of you to take a pic and post the label of Systainer SYS-OF D8/D12? I want to order an insert with Systainer 2 to store longer bits and Festool doesn't offer the labels as a spare part.
Thank you

What I don't understand about the router insert, why don't the holes go all the way to the edge? Seems to me you can store a lot more bits then.

Here's a shot of the label.

I'd recommend you make your own label with a mailing label like I've done here.

Have you asked your dealer to help you?

The part number for the foam insert is 469147 for $19.40

I just ordered one today and a Systainer 2 so I can store longer bits.

Who did you order the foam insert  from?

Jamie,

I'm not Brice, but this place offers the systainer (with all the inserts included, no gaps) for the lowest price I've found in the UK by a long way.  Check it out.

Hope that's useful,

Jamie, first welcome to the FOG! Here in the USA, the Sys Box 1 (screw box) does come will all the boxes you see in the pictures above. I see Rick answered your question first.

 

[speed]

thanks for the quick replies guys [smile]

thanks jamie

Yes, they're about the only place I've found in the UK to actually offer lower prices on any Festool stuff. I bought my Festool router from them too, they give good service. This is a special price, I don't know how long it'll last so you might want to be quick!

Brice, how did you make that label exactly? With your own computer and printer?

 

[Brice Burrell]

Brice, how did you make that label exactly? With your own computer and printer?

Alex, with just a regular inkjet printer with a clear label. The downside is the ink will bleed if it gets wet.

Hm, that's a shame. My systainers will get wet so now and then.

Yes mine inevitably get wet too. It easy to make a new label when they get ruined.

I "laminate" my homemade labels with packing tape, and then attach it with double sided turner's tape (it's about the only thing that'll stick securely to packing tape).
I put masking tape over the stock Festool sticker (and thus under the turner's tape), because otherwise removing the turner's tape would absolutely take the Festool sticker with it.  They need to improve their label's adhesive!

Thus far I've made the First Aid kit sticker (thanks to "Mac"!), as well as a label for my turning tools and pen-making supplies which I put into Systainer 3, and finally will be making a homemade sticker for the Domino tenons, which I plan to put into a Systainer 1 (ironically, the router bit case, which I plan to put into the Domino Sys2 box... some label swapping there).

FYI, most turner's tape is prohibitively expensive.... I use this stuff, for which I don't mind using 6-8 inches to relabel the Systainers:  http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=2&cat=1,110,43466,49224&p=49224
