Are Zobo bits available individually?

[PeterK]

As the title says.
Interested in the 20mm bit primarily but only see the sets offered for sale.

They are available.

The 20mm is part number 496473.

Not sure whether they are NAINA though as the Festool.com site insists on redirecting me to Festool.co.uk all of the time!

In the US/Canada, no.

If you get the 20 mm festool router bit it may serve the same purpose depending on the application, and could easily be used in a keyless chuck.  Part number is 491072.

You can buy Zobo drill system pieces in the us from Timber Tools:

http://www.timbertools.com/Products/Drill-bits-Zobo-central-drilling-systems.html

They have a lot more unusual items such as different centers and many different sizes.  They are expensive and are not Centrotec. They also have carbide Zobo bits.

If you are just looking to buy one to save money over the set, it may not be what you want BUT this may help others.

But they do not have the Centrotec shaft.

Sorry to break this to you, but I don't think the Festool ones do either. See HERE. Definitely no centrotec.

That picture's not worth a thousand words 'cause my set is CentroTec. Somebody must have picked up a stock photo from Zobo. I am guessing they make them both ways. Timber Tools has a nice selection. I think I might just get a couple 125 or 150mm ones just in case I need them.  :

The ones i have are Centrotec, see photo below.

Those aren't the Zobo ones. At least, not the ones that are currently available. I have that set too. Paid about £90 for it. The current Zobo sets are WAY more expensive - about 3 or 4 times the price. They're not the same thing. This is a Festool-branded Zobo bit:

Edit:

You're correct, It looks like the new sets you're getting over there have the older Centrotec Zobo sets in as per gpowers' picture. In Europe, the only ones showing on the official Festool sites are the newer ones that (for some reason) are stupidly expensive...
