Just noticed that the Guide Bushing Adapter for the 1010 (469625) & 1400 (493566) routers are no longer listed on the US, UK or German Festool websites.

Further, the 469625 which originally cost $26 is now on Toolnut for $1.99.  [eek]

[member=48572]Shane Holland[/member] is that true that these items have been obsoleted? Will replacements be released?

[member=44099]Cheese[/member], we've received no communications from FUSA that these have been discontinued. They are still showing as "active" on their dealer website.

[member=101]Festool USA[/member] [member=71429]DerickC[/member] can you share any info?

ETA - the price was changed on our website in 2018 from $8.00 to $1.99.
 
469625 is still an active part and the pricing reflected on ToolNut is accurate. We have plenty in stock if anyone is needing more. Happy routing!
 
Cheese,

I was thrilled to get the guide bushing adapter for 1.99, and it works, but it does not come with the pan-head screws you need to actually center it. You'll need to get those, too. I wrote down the size when I bought mine, but the scrap of paper is long gone, along with my memory.
 
Just a heads-up, it appears that Festool has discontinued both versions of the Shinex.

Neither version is listed on ANY of the Festool websites...so grab one while you can.

Oh, no! If the Shinex disappears, one of my favourite Festool trivia questions becomes less relevant...

What tool comes with a fluff filter?

The queue on Festool recon has one coming up (third in queue) for 50% of (150-21) for anyone looking.
Also of note are a bunch of Planex at between -45% and -75%  [eek]

Strange as it got re-released in Systainer XXL not that long ago.
