any news?

Hi -

As soon as I can get a firm date on the kit availabilty, I'll release the 20mm product individually as well. There will be about a 25-30% saving buying the kit over buying the components individually... so we're sensitive to making sure people can make a decision with full information.....

Cheers -

Rob

Hi -

These are all well under way, produced, priced, and being packaged and distributed as I write...

We are waiting (of all things!) for the milled foam liners... which is holding up the entire release. They are expected within 7-10 days. I did not want to release the individual components early, without giving people a choice of the set, as the set represents about a 30% saving over the components orderd individually.

Intro price will be $249, regular will be $269 (full retail on individual components is $355+).

What's included:

1 - Black/Gold T-Loc Systainer ($59)
1- Foam lid liner ($4.80)
1 - Custom Black/Gold Systainer Liner ($14.95)
1 - 20 mm HSS Forstner Bit ($11.40)
2 - Bessey Low Horizontal Toggle Clamp (2 x $20.90)
4 - Star Clamping knob (4 x $1.20)
2 - Bessey Toggle Clamp Mounting Plates - short post (2 x $21.50)
2 - Low Profile Stops w 20 mm dogs (2 x $22.50)
1 - Veritas Surface clamp w 20 mm post ($74.50)
4 - Small Surface Dogs (2 x $12.95/pr)
4 - Large Surface Dogs (2 x $14.95/Pr)

Since there are no actual Festool parts in this kit - we can ship anywhere (countries other than USA or Canada will need a shipping quote!).

I will also say that initial supply may be limited, as we have no previous sales data to draw from, and these are virtually all custom built parts. Should we run out - we will honor the intro price for all who want one....

As John pointed out - you folks know about this before many of our own staff do.... we are still generating and releasing internal information (including a video). I would expect that all will be wrapped up and ready to go in about two weeks....

Cheers -

Rob

Thanks for the update Rob.  I'm looking forward to the Bessey clamps and mount plates for the MFT.  When they become available I will buy them.  Will any be available for individual sale before all the components are sold out as set? 

 

[BUTTER]

First - I love Lee Valley and the Veritas products!

Second - will you guys be selling the black/gold T-Locs individually?
And/or do you have plans to broaden the T-loc accessory line to include multi-colored latches, or other color boxes?  (I would like red or green for first aid kits, and other colors to denote certain tools.)

I was almost sure Rob was pulling your legs with April 1st is just around the corner. Remember the Festool dust collector attachment for Veritas planes?

Hi Brice -

They will be available individually as well... but I'm not sure which will run out first, sets, or components.

We've left a lot unpackaged, so we can respond to demand either way....

Good to hear some will me marked for individual sale.  Please give us notice when these items become available.

I've got a feeling this will be a big seller.  I love my Bessey Auto Clamps, and this will fit well for anyone with an MFT.

Rob - I gota say that its cool of you to post this as a soft launch here [big grin]
I was wondering though - whats your timeline for brining in the Systainer Midi?  I was looking at ordering 1-2 from Felder in western Canada but they are only expecting them in July!
