Bernie,
The answer is all of the above. Bad weather, increased sales due to growth in general as well as that last month before the price increase jump in orders, probably has outpaced production. Don't forget shipping time from Germany. I don't think there are too many dealers who are not waiting on the 1400 outer, TS 55, MFT/3, Hole drilling raile, etc. to be shipped from Festool.
It as frustrating to we dealers as it is to our customers. Hopefully, all back orders will be cleared up within the next 2 weeks - I know - way too long a wait, but its almost here.
