Hi, does anyone have the list of price increases for 01 March 2015 for Canada? Trying to see how much the router table will go up by to see if I should pull the trigger. thanks!

I don't have a list of specific increases, but Lee Valley sent me a letter last week saying that on March 1st the prices on Festool items are going up by about 9%.

I've read that prices will increase between 10% and 12% depending on the item.

I got the same letter as Frank. 9%.

I received that letter from lee valley as well. Atlas told me 10% across the board and i read online  between 10-12%. If i were you i wouldn't wait. Pull the trigger this month.

Leavalley has a chart showing the before and after prices as of March 1. It's located at the festool display.

regular price increase in not the issue. The issue for Canadians is Canadian Dollar. $0.80us to $1.0 cd, and still is going down. That is a problem. I expect at end of year 0.55/1.00 ratio.

not to start an economics discussion here but there is no way CA $ will go to .55. .70-.75 is a realistic low
