Well, the title pretty much speaks for itself!
I recently bought a MFS 400 template system, and, like the rest of my tools and accessories, I wanted to find a way to store and transport it in a protected manner that keeps it with all of its accessories, preferably in some manner of Systainer (I-V, MIDI or MAXI). Much to my delight, I found that the MFS 400, when arranged in a rectangle/picture frame shape, it fits perfectly in a Systainer MIDI. Width-wise, it just squeaks in, and for depth it rests on a diagonal, with the near edge resting on the bottom of the MIDI, with the far edge resting near the hinges. Underneath the MFS, there is plenty of room for the stock accessories, such as circle cutting parts, right angle brackets, and adjustment tool.
There is still plenty of room for additional parts and accessories, such as 400mm extension profiles and connectors (which allows you to further expand the size options available for the MFS), Imperial guide bushing sets, etc...
I am very pleased with this solution. With the MFS and its accessories stored together in a secure case, it fits well into my van organizational system, which means I'm more likely to take it with me on-site, rather than it being limited to shop-use. Longer term, if I can ever find time to organize things I'd like to make a plywood or Kaizen foam bottom to better organize the accessories, but for the time being I'm fine with them on the bottom.
I hope this helps folks, have a good one!
Best,
Tom
