FestoolRecon.com coming VERY soon (US)

I am considering my first festool drill and I am a little confused by a comment that has come up more than once in this thread. The comment is that there is no offset chuck available for the CXS but I am looking at the 2017 catalog and they list a Fastfix Eccentric Chuck for the CXS and the TXS for $124 as part number 490294. It does not come with it but it does appear to be available. Am I missing something?

Welcome to the forum!  [smile]

I don't have that catalog to look at but I guarantee that chuck does not fit the CXS/TXS.

Sure enough the Fastfix Eccentric Chuck is listed for both the TXS and CXS in the 2017 Catalog on page 138:https://www.festoolusa.com/-/media/...sa/downloads/2017_festool_catalog_usa_en.pdf.

That must have been a mistake because it's no longer listed for the TXS and CXS in the 2018 Catalog on page 136:https://www.festoolusa.com/-/media/tts/festool/festool-usa/downloads/2018_catalog_us-en.pdf.

Yup, I just found the catalog. Must be a misprint that it appears in the CXS/TXS column.

Just want to throw out kudos to the folks handling the Festool recon sale.

I ordered a CT SYS from them last week. It arrived promptly. I noticed that it did not come with a bag and called them to double check. They answered quickly and transferred me to the right person immediately.

Why yes - it SHOULD come with a bag - we'll send you one. No muss, no fuss.

Was out of town for the weekend, and a box of 5 was waiting for me in the deliveries. More and faster than I expected.

Thanx Festool!
 
Thank you to SRSemenza and GoingMyWay for: A. Helping me verify that I am not crazy and B. For helping me discover that the accessory that I was most interested in, does not exist. I would have bought the drill and then been very irritated when the offset chuck did not work. I may still purchase the drill one of these days but not today. Thank you very much!

I bought a CT 26 the other day from the recon site, too.  The thing looks brand new.  Not even scuff marks on the tires.  Great deals.
