Box with 10 Router-bits

[agehall]

Typically, when I travel to the US, I leave with almost empty bags and return with as much as I'm allowed. (This Christmas we flew out with three bags, total weight 30kg, and 1 carry-on. Going home we had 5x32kg and 4 carry-ons...)

Maybe next time I should fill up all my bags with NAINA items to max out my allowance both ways....

I have the 1/2 shank 10 piece Whiteside bit set. They are very nice bits and perform exceptional. I do not have any Festool bits to test them against. The only other bit set I had was a freud set and they see seem to both perform equally well. I will say that the Whiteside bits do have more heft to them and they will cut you.

The 10 bits in the box are:

• Side cutter HW D12, bearing in KL 7/NL25
• Side cutter HW D19/NL25 KL bearing up
• groove cutter HW D6/14
• groove cutter HW D8/20
• groove cutter HW D10/20 with drill cutter
• Rounding cutter HW D16, KL 7/R2 radius 2mm
• Rounding cutter HW D18, KL 7/R3 radius 3mm
• Rounding cutter HW D31, 7/R9, 5 KL radius 9.5 mm
• Phase cutter HW D36/45 degrees KL
• Disk-groove cutter HW D40x4

It's translated from Dutch by google. Hope it is understandable....

Here is a web-shop in The Netherlands which sells the Festool BOX-OF S8 separately.
It costs only €215 (±$272)?!
I Think they will ship to other countries as well.
Look at Frees Sjabloon

I sent them a note on their contact form.  Could not make heads or tails of their website with the drop down menus that did not include USA. 

 

[skipclemmons]

No reply yet.  If somebody figures out how to order from them, get me a set, too.

 

[mouppe]

I had a quick look at their site. I think they only ship to Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.

 

[skipclemmons]

I made contact and intend to order a set.  The price will be pushing $300 a set, with shipping.  $30 a bit for a set which is almost sold out individually at Festool.

My set arrived from the UK dealer.  Looks like the picture above.  145 pounds + 45 pounds DHL shipping.  New part number.  498979.  Hassle free.

Hi!

Just got my new Router "OF 1010 EBQ-Set + Box-OF-S 8/10x HW". It comes with a bitbox.
Before I got it I had problems finding out what it looked like as well for which bits that where included. Anyway here is a picture of it.

Anybody want to import some to NA?  ;D

i havent bought from them but they are mambers on here

It's one of the hottest limited edition kits. Quality of router bits is amazing. I do have one and love it.

 

[Rocky]

Why can't we get these brought to NA like the Robo Bits?  I'm sure several Festoolie's here would agree....right?  I think it should be part of the router & CMS accessories.

If it was available in North America I would have bought one  [tongue]
