Festool Recon Topic (compiled)

Festool will likely do their Black Friday free-for-all offering again for the holiday weekend.

Of note, the future listings currently include the Kapex UG stands in Metric for both the KS-120 and the KS-60 (my bad, I originally said in both Metric and Imperial).

There's also an Energy Set with 4x 5.0 AH batteries instead of just 2x 5.0 batteries.  Not sure I trust the batteries enough to want to give up 2 years of warranty, but it's there.

Should be an interesting time. :)
 
I've been considering getting the CSC Sys 50.  I almost pulled the trigger when the CSC Sys 50 Basic came on the Recon site, but after running the numbers I don't think the savings is worth it and I'd rather buy a brand new CSC Sys 50 Set for $1,999 versus trying to buy the reconditioned CSC Sys 50 and then the reconditioned Energy Set and then a new stand.
 
I love the idea of a CSC Sys 50, and I should probably go visit Woodcraft some time to see it in action, but I definitely have a harder time pulling the trigger on a Recon offering for a tool that hasn't even been on the market for the length of the 3 year factory warranty, especially when it's not just a reimagining of a previously-released tool.
 
Decided to take advantage of the sale and grab a TS 55 FEQ-F-Plus to replace my old TS-55.
The old one which still works great is headed to my brother.
