TS 55 Blades info in 2011 catalogue not correct?

[cerv]

I just noticed in the current 2011 catalogue (online version) that the kerf size in some blades are not 2.2 mm.  I thought that all the blades for the TS55 are now 2.2 mm kerf size based on this thread

Printing error?

Do all rip blades currently available for the TS 55 EQ have a 2.5mm kerf?  The post here stated that all Festool blades now had a 2.2 mm kerf. So I ordered a 496305 online which I assumed to have a 2.2mm kerf and instead received a 487377 with a 2.5 kerf.  Was this a bait and switch? Or am I missing something?

This appears to be an older model blade, I searched everywhere online and it only came up on a website in Australia.

Thx for any help steering me in the right direction!

Thank you very much!

I also noticed that The Festool USA site still has the 496305 listed with a 2.5 mm kerf. Why don't they update their information?

Well, it was an oversight on my part since I administer the site. I'll get it corrected. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Sorry for the mistake.

Hi, no problem! I also tried to update the info on Amazon.com and they sent me the link from Festool USA and refused to change the
information. The company I ordered from did indeed do a bait and switch with my saw blade but they will correct it.

Thx again!

I've contacted Amazon to correct it. Thanks.
