I liked your instructions so much that I keep it in my favorites. I bought a lot of Kaizen foam a couple of years ago for my Packout, Festool, Dwalt, and Ridgid boxes. I go about a year or so and use your video to refresh my aging memory. Thank you.
Absolutely, the taper you see on injection molded plastic parts to assist in getting out of the mold is called draft angle, it's usually 3 to 5 degrees. Contrary to popular belief you actually can have straight 90 degree angles on a plastic mold, however, it will wear out the mold much faster and you will have to operate at a slower cycle time (usually a few seconds per part depending on the plastic), which means the final part will cost you a lot more. If I had to guess by the time you take into consideration the mold and everything, I would say each one of these parts cost Milwaukee $5.00 to $16.00 or so, however, if they needed 90-degree walls it could easily cost around $65.00 to $160.00. Depending on the type of plastic they use reinforcement and such. If you look closely on the top and bottom on the ears of the cleats where the cases connect together you can see they actually do have a mold element that moves 90 degrees to the plastic in order to release it, I'm guessing what they're doing here is using a much lower tolerance hence why there is a lip that's visibly noticeable, and replacing those parts individually rather than replacing the entire mold. because those parts will wear out faster.
Just WOW! @xsterawesome, thank you for taking the time to leave this amazing explanation. I found it very informative and I’m sure others will as well. Thanks again!
@@CroakyOak No problem, thanks for making the detailed foam cutting video. This is the way people are supposed to learn, you can't know everything, I can't know everything, but we can exchange the information we do know.
@@xsterawesome thank you for the great explanation, too! I was first guessing that since the plastic expands when being heated and compresses when it cools down, the area with a full surface of material (bottom) might compress more than the area with no surface, resulting in that slight taper. But yes, that might have an effect far less extreme than the 3-5 degrees you described. The explanation with the mold sounded way more logical when I read it ✌️☺️ Thanks again!
Hello I’m new with the Milwaukee pack out system and your video help me a lot to how to do the template for the tool box 84-24 Thank so much, I was looking for somebody to do this and I found you!!!! Greetings from Mexico God bless you
@@CroakyOak I am in the the process of doing this right now. Only thing is my daughter left my exacto knife at her school. Maybe a hacksaw blade may work..
Thanks for your input. I’ll keep this type of video in mind. I did do a video about how I organized 2” sanding discs. That video can be seen here: ruclips.net/video/cIXvJbdjihU/видео.html Thanks for watching and commenting.
This was a great video. Thank you. For anyone who has not worked with the Milwaukee precut foam, if you like what this gentleman has done, you would not be happy with the Milwaukee foam. last night I received the two different pre-cut foam inserts that Milwaukee currently has available. Initially, I was very pleasantly surprised. I’m surprised that they don’t tell people this in the description of what they’re selling, but you actually receive two pieces of precut foam for each “one” you purchase. And I am guessing that they are the thickest one that kaizen foam sells. If you hold the Milwaukee Packout pre-cut foam next to a big sheet of Kaisen foam’s thickest option, initially, the Milwaukee Kaisen foam appears to be a little bit thinner. However, on closer inspection it appears what they have done is very gently and very sparingly melted the foam on I am assuming the bottom side. I’m guessing it would be next to impossible for someone to do it without some sort of special machine. Unless someone was intimately, familiar with kaizen foam, they would never know. It is kind of along the same lines as what the gentleman in this video did meaning the foam is very forgiving, and along the same lines as cutting the foam a little bit too big, the manufacturer of this product determined that the easiest way to create the slightly slanted edges at the bottom, was to melt it into shape. Anyway, I expected the foam to not have any gaps on the sides, but at least in the toolbox version and I think the draw version as well. There is a proximately a quarter to have an inch in places that have a gap. A gap between the foam and the side of the toolbox, which is kind of a bummer. It is nice to be able to just put the foam in and have it fit and to be clear it’s not loose. At 25 or $29 for one pre-cut section it would not be worth it. I bought it mostly to use as guides to cut my own, but unless I make some adjustments, they won’t work for that. Anyway, the biggest message I wanted to let people know is that when you order but to me looks like you’re ordering one piece of precut foam you were actually receiving two pieces of precut foam and they are the thickest pieces that Kaisen foam makes. So that brings the cost to $12.50 to $14.50 per pre-cut foam insert. At that price it’s easier to justify buying the pre-cut version. But knowing that you’re going to have a few places where there’s it’s not as tight fitting as you would like. Also, if someone wants to have multiple layers of foam in one of the deeper boxes, your best bet is to bite the bullet and buy the precut inserts from Kaisen foam because they sell each section of the layer that you need and it is different in each layer. I think I would lose my mind if I was trying to create multiple layers and say the deep into a box.
Wow! Thank you for leaving such a detailed comparison between the method I demonstrated in the video and the foam inserts sold by Milwaukee. I appreciate the time it takes to leaves such a thorough comment. I’m sure others have been wondering about this. Thanks for watching!
Infinite thanks from Queretaro, Mexico, I had no idea about how to replicate all internal contours of my Milwaukee, Makita and Bosch toolboxes. Now I had the option I was looking for to create a space to my English wrenches, dados and some tools, God Bless you
If the shape you are trying to fit with foam is symmetrical, like your toolbox is left-to-right, you could save a little effort by only forming half a template and then mirroring it for the other side. Or if there are slight differences between halves, make the template for one side and trace it. Then you can re-use the template and modify it for the differences on the other side. Either way you just need to make sure your keep the overall dimensions of length and height consistent to fit the space as you flip and position the template to the other side.
@Adam Banas, that is a great idea! Thank you for taking the time leave this post. I’m sure everyone who takes the time to read the comments will appreciate this information as well.
Great video. I just got some very dense 0.5” foam that I am going to use on the smaller half size packout cases. One case per tool - Bosch installation tool, M12 right angle impact driver, etc. I made a prototype using very soft seat cushion foam, and it worked well. But it was clear that my precision was just too low for a denser foam - the soft foam masked my inaccuracy. The draft angle is something I hadn’t noticed - thanks so much for pointing that out. I probably wouldn’t have noticed until it was too late. The packout containers I’m using have clear lids. I tend to forget to put stuff away, so I’m hoping that clear lids plus high contrast top/inner layers will make it very clear what isn’t put away yet.
I’m glad you found the video helpful. Using color coded foam to make missing tools more obvious is a great idea. I’ve seen ‘tool foam’ with different colored layers sold for that exact purpose. Keeping tools organized and put away can be a challenge. Good luck and thanks for commenting.
thanks for the well thought out and presented video. For me...waaaaaaaay to much time and work for a tool insert. I have been checking around for some inlays that are precut but so far I haven't been successful. I bought some of the dewalt foam and I have a silver pen and a scalpel. The insert fits perfectly in the box as is so I have to do the cut out for the tools myself. Thanks
You are welcome! Thank you for commenting. You are correct in that this method does take some time. Another option for tools cases is to use pick-and-pluck foam. This is the type of foam that comes with many Pelican brand hard cases. It’s much faster to use. But, the foam is also quite different than Kaizen Foam or any other foam typically sold as tool foam. Most noticeably, the foam is much squishier than Kaizen Foam. I have no idea how well pick-and-pluck (also pick-and-pull) foam would hold up in a toolbox. The prices and exact name of the product can vary as well, so shop around. Often sheets of pick-and-pluck foam can be found with other foam products used for shipping.
So followed your tips and the foam fit flawlessly,,cut out silhouette s for tools and it bowed in like crazy...maybe because I removed the kaizen to do so...thoughts??
That's the problem I ran into on my second try, I cut all the way through. I cut all the way through. You see I said "second try". On my first try, I totally trashed the foam.
That wouldn’t work with these toolboxes. The inner profile is much more complicated than the top lip of the toolbox. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The foam used in this video is Kaizen Foam from Fastcap. The manufacturer site is here: www.fastcap.com/product/kaizen-foam?cat=302 Kaizen Foam is sold by other retailers as well. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very useful info. Thanks. One suggestion: use bristol board for the pattern instead of corrugated cardboard. The corrugations make it harder to cut straight lines that are not perfectly aligned with them. The edges "squash", too, which won't happen with bristol board.
I understand what you’re saying and I’m sure bristol board would work well for templating. I used cereal boxes and corrugated cardboard because they work well enough and I didn’t have to make a special trip or spend any extra money to get the job done. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching and commenting.
Without know more about the markings you’re referring to, I’d say most of the markings that are actually cut into the foam are probably laser cut. I don’t know that for sure, but it seems to be the most likely method of achieving the detail I saw in a few images. Have you considered using a label maker to print out some labels and just apply the label to the surface of the foam. I think Brother still makes label tape with an extra strength adhesive is the regular tape isn’t sticky enough.
This is so simple, easy and obvious that I feel stupid for not thinking to do this! I do this kind of templet making for art stuff, but apparently when it comes to making foam fit perfectly into a case My brain purges that templet making skill from memory! Super helpful and great video! Two thumbs up!

If the money you save by making templates and cutting your own inserts is worth more to you than the time you spend making said templates and inserts, then make them yourself.

Of course this assumes inserts from your foam or material of choice are available at all. I hope this helps. Thanks for commenting.
Well, what you’re seeing isn’t actually screwdriver damage. The marks in the foam are indentations left by the organizer trays that come with this model of Milwaukee Packout tool box. I’ve found this kind of blemish to be inevitable when trying to get a snug fit with stock parts. Oh well . . .😳 Thanks for watching.
s 9, I had another look at the video and you are correct. At 0:22 I did inadvertently poke the screwdriver I was using as a pointer into the foam. Oops! That is a bit irritating. I hadn’t noticed the damage at all until you pointed it out. Looks like I’ll have to make myself a blunt tipped pointer of some sort.
