2017 Catalog

[DashZero]

I just got my USA 2017 Festool Catalog!  I'm excited.

Just downloaded and ordered mine!

Typed in catalog in the search box on the US Festool site.
I tried downloading the new catalog but the first 5 versions that are the large file size are all the British catalog so no good to me. Tried the little file listed at the bottom and got the US catalog for 2017. It has less than half the pages of the British catalog!!!

Maybe Toolnut will offer to send out free catalogs and t-shirts again.  [big grin] [poke]  [dead horse]  [big grin]

So do you have to request one or will it come auto-magically if you've gotten it before?

 

[DashZero]

I requested mine on the website a few weeks ago.

 

[ben_r_]

I requested mine from Festool. Ive never received one any other way.

Took me over two weeks before I spotted this.

Would anyone like to take a stab at interpreting that?

Will we now be able to put a 6" pad on a 125 without violating anything?

I'll interpret.  A simple mistake.  The Description for the middle and right sanders are wrong.  I'll let [member=57769]TylerC[/member] know.

Ok, thank you Peter. 

 

[ben_r_]

Funny. Good catch though.

Having done some copy editing before, I can sympathize with how easy it can be to miss what may seem like the most obvious stuff.  You're focused on catching the small errors of punctuation and spacing, and don't see the huge one staring you right in the face.  I wonder if Festool would consider allowing the FOG to crowd-source the final proofing -- say, a $25 gift certificate for every error spotted?  Provided, of course, they're not going to making any new product news with the catalog release, which would require keeping it hush-hush until publication.
