Forstner Bits with pilot bit

[White]

Does anybody know where to buy the Festool forstner bits that used a removeable pilot drill bit as the center spur?

I was told at the 2017 AWFS Show in Las Vegas last year that Festool is no longer selling them.  The other possibility is the Fisch Multi-Function Wave Cutter forester bits from Austria.  This bits also have a removable pilot bit that allows a perfectly flat bottom after a hole is drilled.  No more blowing through the bottom surface by the center spur.

I got mine from Timber Tools. System 2 has a removable centering point and a removable pilot drill.

I purchased the System 3 version because I also needed the centering guide/pilot pin.

Just noticed that the bits have really gone up in price since 2014.  [eek]  [eek]

I paid $69 for the 20mm bit, it's now $87.
I paid $12 for the 6mm pilot, it's now $29.
That's $81 vs $116 in just 3 1/2 years.
