I see this is your second thread on this topic. If you have followed this this site over the last few years that you've been a member you will note that Festool USA don't give info on long term ETA of tool release dates. Generally we don't get tools for a year or two after the European release, but you probably already know that. If you don't want to wait you can get the Mafell version right now. That's what I did.
