T-systand, T-loc systainer top-workbench

[bror]

The systand has got a little brother: the T-systand.
It's made of Baltic birch-multiplex, beech-wood and stainless steel.
the T-systand is a one piece worktop, solid , rigid and tough.

front view
the T-systand fits the T-loc perfectly, just like the systand fits the classic.
a combined locking mechanism would lead to ill fitting on the classic, just like the T-loc doesn't fit the classic too well.

there is only one height, the systainer system already provides ample possibilities for height adjustments

the systainers can of course be opened with the T-systand on top.

in this design there was chosen to keep the underside open. so there will not be any collection of dust inside, and it can stay a solid one peace workbench.
It was not designed for storage, the systainer already provides that function.

the top of the T-systand is rectangular with sharp edges, just like the systand, because it's the most practical to work with.
the underside is cut off to prevent cords from getting stuck

I finally had time to test the new T-Systand after working with the previous Systand for quite some time. Since I still own more old Systainers than new T-Locs I never really noted the most important improvement, to still open the bottom Systainer when attached, but after one weekend with the T-Systand I really start to appreciate this function and don't want to miss it!

Although there's only one hinge instead of two on the old one, the whole design is extremely rigid and can withstand any kind of drilling and sawing.

I have also followed the discussion about the MF-TB and if you don't have T-Locs it certainly makes sense to have the extra latch to open (if nothing is attached to the sides), but not if you already own enough T-Locs!

For the price of the T-Systand I wouldn't waste my time on building one, except if the project of building it is your objective.

A lot of work that would require carrying around the MFT can be done with the Systand and even in combination it is a great accessory because it fits 100% into the Systainer size system.

Very nice product! I have gotten the classic version a couple weeks back and already I'm very fond of it. The built quality is top notch, really really good, there is no slack what so ever between the systand and the systainer. Very impressive! Highly recommended, I'm sure this new version is no different.

I just received a couple of these and am very impressed with the quality, fit, and finish. 

They were shipped from the Netherlands to Chicago and Rogier Broersma was great to work with via email.  Wire transfer of funds was required as he does not take PayPal. 

Took about ten days in shipping time.  I had debated making one of these but after seeing this one, I'm glad I chose to go this route. 

I'm really impressed with the level of detail he has taken with these - the label is indented in a recess, for example.  The top and edges are nicely sanded.  I simply put two coats of paste wax on all exposed edges to protect the units.

Highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for fast easy clamping where you don't want to have to carry an MFT or Walko table.  Excellent for those odd jobs.

Neil, what was your price shipped to Chicago? I'm in WI so I figure it would be close.

 

[nclemmons]

I had him ship two of them to me for around $235.  Rogier was great to deal with.
One was for me and one for my brother. I forget the actual price each but he'll respond to an email with details.

I've since used the unit several times and REALLY like it.  Most recently, had to get my daughter moved into her apartment and took a few tools up.  Used the Systand on the top of a stack of Systainers to rip a three foot piece of wood with a hand saw.  I was making an insert for a window to hold an air conditioner.

I was frankly amazed at how well I could hold the wood with a couple of clamps and make the cut accurately.

This is a great addition to a stack of systainers when you don't have a Walko or MFT available to hold work.

That's a clever design.  I'm sure that I could make good use of one.

[member=42125]scott451[/member], it looks like Festool licensed the idea from the original poster? Some of the elements are different, but the general idea is the same.

You should be able to buy it from any Festool distributor, it's known as the SYS-MFT.
