In the image here, I've circled a specified part.  I believe they're named Edge Stops (per: http://www.festoolusa.com/products/routers/hole-drilling-system/lr-32-hole-drilling-set-in-systainer-583291.html)  and are shown with kit #583291.  They are used to create the offset from the end, when using the LR32 guide rail.

But I'm not sure of the name....

So my questions are:
1) Are these included in the smaller LR32 kit (kit #583290)?  I don't need the clamps or bits, so this is the more logical item to get, for me, instead of the full blown $425 #583291.
2) If they are not included... Why not?!   And how can I got about ordering them separately (e.g. I need the part number and whether they come in a pair or singles).

Thanks in advance.

The item number is 485 760 ($13.30US) which includes the components you circled in the photo.  Since these are a service/spare part item, they can be ordered directly from our service department. 

This is not included in the smaller LR 32 kit (583 290).  I'm not sure what the specific reasoning for that is right off hand.  The larger set is meant to be a turnkey solution for 32mm.  See my follow-up post, these are included in both LR 32 kits.
 
Aren't those the linear stops? The 2009/10 catalog indicates they're included with the smaller kit.
 
Gentlemen, my apologies.  As coincidence would have it, we had someone in our end-user training class who bought this and said that these where not included.  We just hiked back to the warehouse and checked it out first hand.  The smaller kit (583 290) does indeed include the stops. 

Sorry for the erroneous information.

No, those are the Edge Stops.  The Linear stops are shown in the picture directly below the circled Edge Stop.

YAY!!  Thanks for the info guys.  Man, I love this forum!

I have been scouring every retail site and Festoolusa.com and none list 'em as being included.  I'm glad they are (save $27) and I think I'll be pulling the trigger on that hole drilling kit soon (whee!!  Net savings of $-178!)

"We just hiked back to the warehouse..."  This kind of support service simply doesn't exist for other tool makers that I've ever been aware of.    [big grin]

Here's how I imagine this played out:
Dude:  'Hey Shane, some bozo junkie just posted a question on FOG.  Know the answer?'.
Shane:  'Hrmm... Interesting question Dude Watson.  Let's take a hike!'

{Exit, stage left, Shane & Dude, en route to warehouse, more than likely walking barefoot and uphill in the blistery cold Indiana winter}
{Indeterminate time later, in warehouse}
Shane:  'Well I'll be damned!  I must inform my flock! '

{Shane, sprinting back to Festool USA HQ mothership, again uphill, launches self onto keyboard, posting follow-up to FOG}
{Gratuitous love and admiration for Shane follows}  [embarassed]

That's awesome (and not far from how it played out).  We really need to relocate the warehouse downhill from the offices.  [blink]  Thanks for that, it made my day.

No, those are the Edge Stops.  A Linear Stops is shown in the picture directly below the circled Edge Stop.

It does seem as if somewhere someone mixed up the names of these parts.  A more logical choice of names would have been to call the Edge Stop an End Stop, and then call the Linear Stop an Edge Stop.  That way these Stops would be named for their function.

Sorry, I hit 'Quote' rather than 'Modify' to edit my previous post.
