Boring Drawers: SYS AZ Drawers and the LR-32 System

We’re pretty sure Sedge is building more cabinets for Systainers. In this episode, Sedge walks us through how to use the LR-32 system from Festool to bore holes for the SYS-AZ drawers.
Be positive and stay sharp!

I am building my version using the LR32 for the very first time. The precision of the rail guide, those little bars you face “up and out” are amazing. I cut my panels maybe 1/3-3/4 mm too long and rail wouldn’t fit…. Had to trim them all! I learned it is better to make the panels 1/2 mm smalller so I didn’t struggle fitting the rail to the balanced panel….

[@sedgetool]

Thanks for the tip! It's always good to learn from others' experiences.

[@BW-cw4lq]

Sedge, you make it look so easy. I have the LS32 system and hooked up my 1400 Router. Great tips! Thanks for the great lesson.Be Positive, Stay Safe

[@sedgetool]

Glad to help

[@doahsark7227]

Golden! You answered all the questions in my head! 🙌🏽

[@sedgetool]

Happy to help!

[@WillyBemis]

Thanks Sedge! Your videos are incredibly interesting, helpful, and fun. I enjoy both Sedgetools and Festool Friday - and I bought several tools because of your careful explanations and demonstrations. They have more than lived up to my expectations. Thanks for all you do. Willy from Freeville (formerly from Massachusetts)

[@sedgetool]

Thanks Willy !!!!

[@mattmaclean8135]

Great work Sedge, love it! Just grabbed my FS2424 for larger cabinets and hole punching. Keep up the great work and love the videos. I’m enjoying Festool now because of your videos and LIVE Friday demo days. Great crew with great products and tools 💪🏼

[@sedgetool]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@salehfurnituredesign]

Very smart system, thank you for sharing this video Sedge

[@sedgetool]

Any time!

[@sandyadams3538]

LR-32 through-hole lessons learned from me: Make sure your VacSys suction pad is clear of where you are drilling through. Fortunately I just drilled through the rubber part and could easily replace.

[@sedgetool]

ahhhh good tip !!!!

[@jbuitendam9236]

It's totally great again learned something. Thank you Erik Zoetermeer Netherlands

[@sedgetool]

Thanks Erik

[@Mike--K]

Love it!!! At 11:28, is this an example of "Do as I say and not as I do?" 🤭

[@sedgetool]

Thanks Mike

[@extremewoodworker]

Hi Sedge. Nice video. On setting depth for boring, I just use the screw as a gage for setting the depth stop. Since you are a metric guy, I am surprised you are not using a Hultafors Talmeter measure. Steve

[@sedgetool]

Thanks Steve

[@saterialewoodworking]

Awesome tips for using this system.

[@sedgetool]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gandjboyd7872]

I purchased the SYS-AZ Drawer Set Systainer/5 because I have a small collection of 9 systainers , lasted being the limited edition DF 500 with the Dominos systainer . I figured the DF500 would be more beneficial to me than the LR32 and a festool router besides the limited edition set DF 500 was such a great deal

[@sedgetool]

That DF 500 is a great addition to any collection!

[@ianknight8235]

He sedge. Love the simplicity of it all. Any chance your next one can be to incorporate the location of the hinges and the cups for us guys in the UK. I’m using Blum soft close but as you can brake it down into such simple steps would be good to see it done. No inset doors here, just regular sizes of cabinets and standard doors. Keep up the great work though.

[@sedgetool]

In this video I layout cup hinges around the 20:00 mark ... hope this is what you are looking for kzbin.info/www/bejne/foappntpbdGrapI

[@ianknight8235]

@@sedgetool That’s just what I’ve been looking for. Thank you. Have 1 more question though. Why do to make the door 4mm shorter, would it not be quicker to make the door the same size as the cabinet side so you don’t have to do anything with the rail and stop, and then just trim the 2mm top and bottom for your reveal. I maybe think I need to watch more videos to understand things better. Thanks again.

[@henryperez8607]

Great show! It would be great if you can go over the speed dial on the Kapex and track saws. What are the best speeds for various materials (plastics, aluminum, composites)

[@sedgetool]

Great Idea Henry...Thanks for the input....

[@jeffreytobin3794]

Awesome video as always!!! Sedge on your parallel stops, you have a lever knob, did you replace this from the standard knob that comes with it? Seems much easier with your setup.

[@sedgetool]

Yes I did ... I got it from McMaster Carr M6 1 16mm 45mm 35mm 25mm -20° to 230° Black, Orange 6324K13 5.13 6267T43 9.27

[@jayg6857]

You mention doing a later video on a miter saw station build with the SYS-AZ cabinets. Did that ever get made and posted?

[@sedgetool]

already in a redesign

[@jayg6857]

@@sedgetool thanks. I'm planning on making a new miter saw station and already have the Sys-Az drawers ordered and am planning on using them in some of the base cabinets. I'm looking forward to seeing your design. Even got a few metric tape measures. Going to try and go metric for my measurements.

[@warrensmith2902]

Oh Yeah!!!!

[@sedgetool]

woooooooo !!!

[@jhutch9106]

Another outstanding video. You make it simpler to understand. I'm still waiting for my of 1400 . I think you said you used correction fluid to whiten your parallel guides ,Did you just lightly sand to clean off the tops of your lines?

[@sedgetool]

yep...that's what I did...

[@LukePighetti]

Line bore with a 58mm offset if you want flush drawers, line bore with a 37mm offset if you want drawers that stick out and match a 18-21mm door or drawer... does that sound right?

[@sedgetool]

I guess...never thought of doing that ....

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

What edge banding did you use on that plywood, noticed it’s on the thicker side. Thx

[@sedgetool]

1 mm

[@hhanger1]

Hey Sedge! I will be installing several of the Sys-Az drawers using the 32 mm holes. However, a couple of the partitions will have holes that are back to back so aren't the 5mm screws holding the slides going to be too long and would butt up against each other in the middle of the 19mm panel? How do I overcome this? Enjoy your Festool Live! sessions!

[@sedgetool]

you can buy shorter 5mm screws ......

[@michaelmenard8614]

Out of curiosity, how would I figure out how tall that cabinet is at the start if the video? Would love to use something like that to prop up my kpex extemsions

[@sedgetool]

I measured the height of the kapex mini table and built the cabinet roughly to that size maybe a little shorter so I could use the levelers I hope this makes sense

[@baumstamm6129]

when do you need the 9,5mm endstop?

[@sedgetool]

When you are using Rafix KD fittings

[@HiFiNerd99]

Since the Sys Vac is discontinued are you allowed to make new videos using it?

[@sedgetool]

I use it in an upcoming video...

[@HiFiNerd99]

@@sedgetool Ah, good to know tools aren't abandoned when they are not available for sale anymore. I must have bought the last one for sale last summer and find it very useful when there are a lot of edges to sand or dominos to cut. My next project will be building your holder for the MFT. Thanks again for all you do.

[@kevinmccarthy8670]

love your videoes but still having trouble with the metric!!! can't spend my limited time leaning a different system of measure

[@sedgetool]

You can do it!

[@kevinmccarthy8670]

@@sedgetool not even gong to try way to old!!!!

[@Bibblebabbler]

Love the vids sedge but you need new mics for that bahston accent. To much background noise,that or get a proper sound man in there to sort you out. Same with the festool live shows. Sorry to be that guy but the sound quality could be so much better. If only festool made microphones… Great vids and thanks for making these. Go Sox….
