What box for a DWE6423?

Hi, newbie in the U.K.

 

I bought an orbital sander, the DeWalt DWE6423.  I thought I would get the hard case to go with it but no, it came in a cardboard box.

 

So I see I can buy boxes and inserts separately, can anyone advise the carry case I need? I imagine I will need a case larger than I need for just the sander, that’s ok, I have a few other bits and pieces that could share space.

 

How practical are the foam inserts?  All tools gather dust, I imagine the foam will collect dust and be very hard to clean.  Otherwise I can make up some internal dividers using tufnol or ABS.

 

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

 

The solution provided by DeWALT is a tool bag. That may be the only reasonable option because of the width of the tool.

 

This topic shows by custom TSTAK II OMT case w/ custom cut Kaisen foam inserts.

 

When I purchased additional tools that arrive in bags, I yank the inserts from this case to determine if it will fit, permitting a similar solution. None have fit. My linked reply includes interior dimensions, permitting a manual fit evaluation.

 

New and used DeWALT tool bags are available, such as on eBay.

 

WRT to dust, I keep my tools clean w/ WD-40, paper towels and a tooth brush (I use the wife’s tooth brush). It keeps the tools nice and also the cases.
