Festool Corredera SYS-AZ

Product Information

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.

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?It seems to me that the use of Systainers—as satisfying to the OCD part of us as they are—are not a good use of precious workshop space, and make the tools less accessible than if they were in one or two wide, deep drawers in a tool cabinet. After all, we don’t need all those Plug-It cables; and the needed tool accessories may well not fit in the tool’s systainer. This wall is wonky as all get-out so I had to shim the wall cleat so it would be flat. More Drawers

I have probably shared all these tips before in Cabinet Building 101, but I’ll bulletpoint a few for your convenience. 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 WidthWe also offer combination toolboxes with space for cordless and corded power tools along with accessories like screws, cables and nails. You could opt for a fusion of tool box and accessory container like the SYS tool box, or go for the SYS-StorageBox, with its swivelling components tray and adaptable range of plastic containers. Tip 1: marking center divider location on both sides of “top” and “bottom” parts. Tip 2: using corner clamps Tip 3: Painting plywood edges. Tip 4: prime before assembly. If not using wood glue, go ahead and pre-paint too. Alternatives and things to note 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. Again, I used the simplest construction method possible to get the first batch of drawers built. 1/2″ plywood, glue and nailed together.
