Festool Corredera SYS-AZ

Product Information

Festool's Systainer range of tool storage systems offers professionals and home users an ergonomic, safe and easy to use way to store their Festool products. Once they were built, I experimented a bit with installation. In my first cabinet, I drilled shelf pin holes thinking I’d use them for drawer installation. That way I could reconfigure the drawer location as my Festool collection grows. With all my planning, the holes I drilled did not line up where I needed them to. I used normal screws, which went really fast and I decided it wasn’t worth the time to drill holes in any more of my cabinets. One thing I changed after building my first cabinets was the top. I switched from a full piece to two cleats, simply to stretch my material. I’ll be putting a countertop over the whole bank of cabinets so I don’t need full tops.

The cabinets have a center divider so you get two columns of drawers in each cabinet. You could certainly build single cabinets but it would use more material. You could also certainly build a triple column cabinet but once they get too big, they’re hard to handle. A double was about my limit. Sizing the Cabinet for Drawers Width Festool's Sortainer range offers another storage solution. Products like the classic Sortainer provide storage drawers that can be easily divided to fit the profile of your accessories. They work well as an accompaniment to our tool boxes, or you could choose a fusion of the two like the SYS-Combi. If you have a disorganised tool collection and want to rationalise your inventory, general purpose tool boxes like the roomy Maxi-Systainer offer more than enough space for most customers. I have probably shared all these tips before in Cabinet Building 101, but I’ll bulletpoint a few for your convenience.One of Festool's most popular innovations, the Systainer product line features plenty of different sizes of toolbox, with various mobile options and extra features to choose from too.

Quote from: Stan Tillinghast on May 29, 2020, 07:10 PM I’m now deep into the project of clearing out our garage to the best of my ability. I will have one bay of 3-car garage for permanent use for tools, with shelving, eventually cabinets, around the outside walls. Given multiple hobbies and wife’s storage needs, there remains little room for a Chaos-Theory wall of systainers. Does anyone NOT use systainers, and store their Festools (at least the most used) in drawers in a tool chest, whether commercial or self-made? I did take a minute to sand down all the sharp edges before assembly. It’s just way easier and faster to do it before. Testing Drawers I have a large HD Husky “mobile workbench” with very nice drawers, but they’re full without using any drawers for the Festools.

This makes my space org. not very efficient at any point in time. But globally, I setup a systainer (container/box) for one purpose once and then use it for that purpose for 10 years and more, just moving it around depending on the situation/need. As I write this up, it seems odd that I was THIS frugal with my lumber. I think I was using up all the lumber I had on hand because this was somewhere around full-on “shelter in placing” on account of CV19 and I didn’t want to get lumber that I didn’t absolutely need.
