Is that something like $400 off?

Is that something like $400 off?

Based on the price in Europe with currency conversion, yes.

 

[mrboult]

Wow, for that price I’d consider it a bit more seriously

 

[elfick]

Yah, I had no plans on getting it but now I'm seriously thinking about it. I think I paid about over $150 for my Bora centipede that I currently use as a cutting table and this would be *WAY* easier to deal with.

I would order one today, but 6 months before shipping, really takes the sizzle out of the product for me.

How do you think it is for us over here, waiting for Apple products  [scared] For what I know no store ever over here has even seen a HomePod.. [huh] Kidding a bit now [wink] Last June I backed San Francisco based Peak Design’s new travel tripod on Kickstarter, it was meant to be shipped dec 19... I’ve just received it.. a month after backing I kind of “forgot” about it. Only to “remember” in December to check in with Peak Design whether it is being shipped or delayed. Of course it was delayed.
By meaning if this is something you really can see a benefit in, it’s probably worth the wait. It is fun when shipping starts.. and the bill? You’ll probably have forgotten it by then - so it’s almost like a gift [blink] [big grin]
(I was a little disappointed with the tripod, but that’s another story)

 

[NVA_WW]

Shane, when will we be charged?  At time of purchase or when it’s shipped?

...or testing the waters for how a ~$1000+ folding cutting station might sell were it to be made regularly available on this side of the pond.

This is an unusual approach for Festool USA, but in my mind it kinda makes sense to me.  Before you rate me as a fanboy, please let me finish.  As a reader here I have read complaints about non-availability of items.  Limited time items.  NAINA.

Festool USA has ordered in items over the years and depending on their forecasts some items have been available for either a short or a long time.  Always has been a crap shoot in my observation.

So now they are responding to the comments made to them and are willing to order in product with an upfront commitment.

The question I would have for [member=101]Festool USA[/member] is:  Is the table a tool or an accessory?

To [member=101]Festool USA[/member] - glad to see you guys looking outside the norm of years gone by.  Godspeed!  May this be successful and open the gates to similar offerings in the future with shorter delivery times.

Oh, I'm totally for it if it is them trying out products that would normally be NAINA. Would have made getting the BS-75 a lot easier!

When I thought it would roughly translate to $1500 USD I thought it was insane. Now that it is "only" $1000 it is much more palatable.

What a great way to market a product -

Throw out a crazy price
Let it be known it won't be in North America
Drop the price to $1000
Make it a limited time order

[member=3513]PaulMarcel[/member], I thought the exact same thing.  [big grin]

Shane, when will we be charged?  At time of purchase or when it’s shipped?

[member=1520]NVA_WW[/member] if you order by credit card, yes, we bill when the order ships. If you order by Paypal, you are charged immediately. If you use our financing partner, Affirm, it's billed after 30 days in installments.

The question I would have for [member=101]Festool USA[/member] is:  Is the table a tool or an accessory?

[member=1674]Peter Halle[/member], it's considered an accessory. No 30-day money back guarantee if that matters to anyone.

 

[ADKMedic]

[member=48572]Shane Holland[/member], is FestoolUSA going to support the consumables?  In other words, what the video calls “interchangeable wooden coverings”, are they going to be available in North America?  It appears that the wooden coverings are meant to be cut into, like the MFT tops.  So will we be able to order spares?  Or are we going to be stuck with the original parts with no hope of replacement?

[Shane Holland]

[member=9489]ADKMedic[/member] I doubt that Festool is going to offer those as a consumable at all in any country. I think the expectation is that folks will just rip down some lumber to make replacements as needed.

We can see if [member=101]Festool USA[/member] will confirm.

 

[Shane Holland]

I took a moment to look through the excellent manual for the STM 1800 [blink] and didn't see any information about being able to order replacement "wooden supports". Nor are they listed on the international Festool websites as accessories.

It mentions replacing them if they are damaged and can longer secure the workpiece. I think you'd have to chew them up over the course of a lot of cuts to them to get to that point. But again, easy enough to cut down some scraps to replace them. There are a few screws that hold them to the frame, easy to swap out.

Sounds like a great product. How much space will this take when it is folded up?

[member=163]vkumar[/member] folded dimensions are 45-1/4" x 9-7/8" x 27-1/2", listed on the product page of our website.

I went ahead and reserved one, i desperately need a way to break down sheet goods in the small space i have at home.  It allows me to fold up when not in use, and it allows me to easily load a sheet.  I do like it but as usual i don’t understand the pricing or where it comes from.  But i still buy because i like all the products i own from them.
