Making Inserts for the Festool Sys Mini 3

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I visited my local Axminster store recently and could not resist buying a Sys Mini 1 and a Sys Mini 3. The smaller Sys Mini 1 will be used as a general purpose tool carrier. In this video I describe how to make some tray inserts for the Sys Mini 3 which can also be used with the Sys Mini 1.

    Thanks for sharing. I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one guilty of purchasing something, then trying to find a need for it. Or in this case seeing a neat project and finding an excuse to buy another mini systainer!

    Hi Gary, I may buy another as the trays turn the Sys Mini 3 into an excellent storage box. Cheers. Peter

    Peter, great to meet you at Harrogate on Friday. Many thanks for your advice I ordered the Kapex 60 mitre saw and the CXS drill driver. I also picked up the last two assembly squares that Axminster had at the show. Keep up with your excellent range of videos. I found them very informative and they kept me encouraged when illness kept me out of the workshop earlier in the year. Regards

    Hi Axel, When the pieces are moved from a straight line to the square the masking tape can sretch slightly and the 0.5 mm overlap (ish) allows for that. Peter

    Peter, I greatly enjoy watching your very informative videos. I apologise if you’ve answered this in a previous video, but when cutting the mitered joints is there a particular reason you’ve tilted your Kapex to the side, instead of rotating it around the vertical axis?

    Hi Dietmar, The UJK Assembly Square is available from Axminster - www.axminster.co.uk/ujk-technology-assembly-square-105280 or product code 105280. I will be making a video about it and some other Parf products in the not too distant future. The various holes and slots give you loads of clamping and positioning options. Peter

    Another informative video. Will be copying the masking tape technique. Thank you. US prices for Systainers seem to be double those in UK. The SysMini 3 you showed for 15 Euros is priced at 34 USD at Woodcraft, which is 30 Euros this week. Wish it were otherwise.

    Another great video peter, i have been looking at the mini systainers and this has convinced me to get some. I am curious though, your ks60 has a clamp on the left that looks like some kind of festool push down clamp to hold timber. Is that an official festool product and do you recall what it is called? It looks live a great alternative to the screw down basic clamps. Thanks

    All you need now is some right angle Parf Dogs! What Is the UJK Right Angle guide made of? This is the perfect way to store the dogs. May have to take the plunge on these for my dogs... Do you have any concerns about dog damage due to rolling around in the box? I was thinking I might put kaizen foam in the inserts to prevent them rolling around. Are you on any social media or email yet since KZread took away the private message function? Thanks Peter. Good video!

    Hi Ron, The dogs are made of stainless steel and will come to no harm at all. KZread did away with Private Messaging in July. Just post a comment with you email address in t. 99% of the time this will get picked up by the KZread spam system and not be visible to the public. I can then react to it and then delete it. I am away from today, without my computer, and will not be back until next Tuesday as I am at the Harrogate Show. Peter
