I can't address the original question. But I will mention that my new catalog from Rockler shows that they are now a Festool authorized seller. I would assume they have inventory.

I have been surprised at the quality of the Milescraft products (considering the low prices). Their products have been consistently reliable and accurate. (But they do "feel" inexpensive.)
I can only speculate. Some of the Milescraft's products and its higher-priced competitors come from the same or similar factories in China or Taiwan using slightly different designs or tolerances. Of course, the brands are different.

I asked our QC manager at work to check the 45-degree and 90-degree settings on this Milescraft piece on our Nikon optical comparator. He told me that the 90 was exactly on, and the 45 was "less than a half a degree off". So entirely satisfactory. And less than $9.00.
