The new drill guide - what does the inside of the systainer look like?

[bwehman]

About to place an order and curious how the systainer is arranged, wondering if there might be extra room to store some bits and accessories.

Yes, there is room, actually a lot. See attached pictures, first is picture from lid insert, second is the actual systainer.

Yes, there's tons of extra room. They put the MB in a M187. For reference, I've also shown the Woodpeckers Auto-Line, about the same size as the MB, in a TLoc SYS Mini 3. Even that still has extra room.

Apologies for the lighting not being the greatest, but I think you can see enough to answer your question.

I might grab this at some point. Thanks for sharing the photos of the inside of the systainer.

Just curious, is that TLoc SYS Mini 3 about the same size as the current Systainer³ S 147? If so, that'd be a nice fit for mine. All those extra little drill stand parts are always an issue.

@Cheese The TLoc SYS3 mini is quite a bit smaller actually. Outer dimensions of the SYS3 Mini are 265 x 170 x 145 (L x D x H mm) comapred to the 396 x 296 x 187 of the M187. ... Of note, the AutoLine extension rods, if you have them, are 295 mm. There's probably a way to organize things so they can fit diagonally. I found it cleaner to keep mine in the OEM bag in the same well organized drawer as the SYS3 Mini (and others).

Peter - Did Acme have any info on the battery powered routers, domino and planer releases?

Doesn't look like they're part of the fall release in NA. It actually looks like they're still in pre-order in Germany. I think MB was released there about 6 months back. If recent patterns hold, I'd plan on us being about that far off for cordless routers in NA.

Yup...the MB 40 was first released in February 2025.

Does anyone know if connecting the active vac hose assists in holding the base to the work?

 

[WillettBarrel]

That would be a cool feature!

But, no, it doesn't. The dust port comes through the side and pulls air across the surface of the workpiece, as opposed to pulling against the surface.
