El65 planer

[MrMac]

Is the EL65 planer no longer available? It seems to have disappeared from festool web sites.

It's still on both the websites I've just looked at, festool.com & festool.co.uk  [cool]

Since it went to plug it, it is now NAINA. Pity!

At the other extreme, neither is this beam planer and it's larger sister the 245mm. These are both ex Protool.

It has been posted here that the EHL 65 E will no longer be available here in North America.  I also am pretty certain that I read that a replacement was not in the works here in NA.

Here is the thread from 2013:  http://festoolownersgroup.com/festool-sales-dealer-area/some-news-from-the-festool-world/msg278177/#msg278177

I'm really bummed about this too!  I have the eh 65 planer,  which i Mostly Enjoy, but wish it had the plug it cord badly!  Additionally,  I wish it had the adjustable cord like the carvex!  My cord always gets caught up on the end of the wood I'm trying to plane.   

Also I wish the rear sole was narrower..or adjustable. ..or something.  It's hard to track a straight line if using the whole blade hogging out the back of casing and not have it wedge and come out of its groove. 

Anyone else have this problem?

I bought an EHL a few weeks ago, and I have to say: I just LOVE it!
