SystemBoard End Mill Storage System (by request from the CHMW VI Meetup)

[SkookumRob]

I was asked by our Vancouver Island Meet-up crew if I could price out the holders that we use in our factory for the members to purchase for their own use. Here are some pics of the system:

In order to put together an order for CHMW + the Hobby-Machinist our supplier needs a minimum of $400 (CAD) value (they normally only sell large volumes to manufacturing plants) so this order goes in only if we meet that minimum. You will not be charged until the order is going ahead!

So the system consists of the SystemBoard Frame 400A and whichever inserts you would like for your tooling.

SystemBoard 400A Frame with Bottom = $29.95ea CAD
SystemBoard Insert = $6.70ea CAD

NOTE: There is a flag toggle at the top of the page for USD/CAD

Note that there is some "bulk" discounting if you are looking for a larger number of these

If you would like to participate in the group buy... please follow these specific instructions:

Click on this link: https://skookumendmills.com/Skookum-End-Mill/end-mill-accy

Add your chosen components and quantities to the cart

Please DO NOT PAY for the order! We have a payment option called "I prefer to call in my credit card by phone"

Please use this payment method to complete your order. We will call you for payment if/when the minimum order quantity is reached by the group, and we are ready to place the order with our supplier.

Also Note: The checkout will calculate shipping costs from our warehouse to your location, so the final price is delivered to your door!

I will post an update with an order closing date once we get to the minimum order.

I assume there are many insert options available (for various tool shanks/types.
I searched the web for "SystemBoard" and got nothing useful, only motherboard related
Can you provide a link to a product catalog?

If there is a different size insert you would like, let me know and I will add them to the ordering page on our web site.

Also here is a PDF version if that is easier!

Just to make sure I understand how the system works (after ordering!), the frame with bottom has 12 slots for tool holder inserts but the larger inserts may occupy more than one slot. In my case, I ordered 2 inserts for 1" shank tools, 2 inserts for 1/2" tools, 2 inserts for 3/8" tools, 1 insert for 1/4" tools and 1 insert for 1/8" tools. The 1" and 1/2" inserts each occupy 2 slots, so that's 8 of the 12 slots taken, with the remaining 4 inserts occupying the remaining 4 slots.

Does that sound correct?

The tray is 6-3/4" Inside, so in the PDF you can see the max number of each size insert per tray (if you use all the same size in a tray)

1" = 4 so 2 of them take up 1/2 the tray
1/2" = 6 so 2 of them take up 1/3 the tray
3/8" = 12 so 2 of them take up 1/6 the tray
1/4" = 12 so 1 of them takes up 1/12 the tray
1/8" = 12 so 1 of them takes up 1/12 the tray

so you have 14/12 of the tray in inserts, so you would need 2 trays

Or, to think of it the other way... there are 12 spots in each tray;

1/8", 1/4" & 3/8" each take 1 spot
1/2" takes 2 spot
1" takes 3 spot
