Two MFTs on a Dozen SYS-AZ Cabinets

Fitout By Juhan Sonin

Juhan Sonin runs GoInvo, a design studio outside Boston that builds prototypes, which means a lot of Festool tools and a lot of the systainers they came in. The habit started at MIT, in the Pappalardo Lab where the mechanical engineering product design class runs on Festool. The search that led here was for insides, not cabinets.

If memory serves, I was hunting for Festool systainer interior storage systems. I had about a dozen Festool tools and a few empty containers, and was on the prowl to use them for everyday work and storage. I have been using them for 8 years. But I’m still a noob.

The studio already had two Festool MFT/3 tables. Twelve SYS-CAB-M-AZ cabinets, ganged back to back, gave both tops one home and put the whole thing on wheels.

Every bay is a SYS-AZ drawer, so each systainer pulls out on its own rails without unstacking anything. The island is sorted by side.

82% of the way there. Time to order a few more drawers and systainer inserts! 1st side = handheld electric tools. 2nd side = parts, bolts, smaller supporting things.

The tops earn their keep. In the first photo Juhan sent, one MFT is laid out with 3D-printed suspension arms, shock bodies and chassis blocks for an RC drift car.

One system. For everything. For everyone.

Juhan Sonin runs GoInvo, a Boston-area design studio that has spent twenty years designing enterprise and healthcare software, and builds its prototypes with a studio full of Festool. His systainer habit started at MIT’s Pappalardo Lab, where the mechanical engineering product design class runs on Festool. Believers in open source, the studio shares its work under its own name.
