Vecturo insert for a Systainer 1

[Frank Pellow]

I purchased my Vecturo last week and have already used it on three jobs which would be hard to do with any of my other tools.  The most obvious of these was to cut a rectangle out of a thin plywood wall without cutting into the plastic that covers the insulation in the wall.  It worked perfectly as can be seen in these photos:

The Vecturo set comes in a systainer 2 with a "home" for every part as can be seen in this photo:

But, you can also see that there is a lot of unused space.  I guess that some people will fill this space with a number of additional Vecturo accessories, but I doubt that I will acquire many of these.

I decided that a currently-unused systainer 1 would be sufficient for storing and transporting my Vecturo, so I built a small tray out of Baltic birch plywood scraps.  Here is a photo:

Although the cord is not attached to the Vecturo in the photo, I often store my tools with the cord attached and I did make this insert so that this is easy to do.

Using a systainer 1 for my Vecturo frees up a systainer 2 with an attic compartment for other uses.  I will probably use it with a jigsaw because I do have many jigsaw accessories and the attic compartment will even store the longest Festool jigsaw blades:

Nothing like a little compacting.

Is the Vecturo low enough that an attic lid could be used on a Sys - I?

Sorry Seth but the Vecturo protrudes above the box a little bit, so an attic lid would not fit.

It's a bit of a bother removing the blade every time you put away the Vecturo.  I decided to see if the Vecturo would fit into my modified systainer with the blade still attached.

It does!  [smile]

Did you notice that the attic lid doesnt really fit the Blades really all that well either? I might use your idea for the jigsaw too.
