What happened to all the accessories on the Festool USA site (sanders at least)?

[TylerC]

There are a few pads for the ETS EC 125:

Hard:http://festoolusa.com/power-tool-ac...hard-sander-backing-pad-for-ets-ec-125-492284
Soft:http://festoolusa.com/power-tool-ac...life-sander-backing-pad-for-ets-ec-125-492286
Super Soft:http://festoolusa.com/power-tool-ac...soft-sander-backing-pad-for-ets-ec-125-492288

The supplied pad is essentially the equivalent of a medium.

When I'm on the site, the accessories are displaying properly for the ETS EC 125. What are you seeing?

[member=57769]TylerC[/member] I assume that the EC pads will fit on the ETS125 EQ or is that an incorrect assumption?

Not for the 125. The 150 pads are compatible, but not the 125s.

[member=57769]TylerC[/member] Just to be sure I understand . . . no hard pad is available for the new ETS125REQ? Correct? Since it's not clear that the new ETS125 is similar to the  the old ETS125EQ, I wasn't sure of the answer.

I'm not Tyler, but there is no hard pad for the ETS 125 PRO LTD sander.

However, once the new website is live, we're going to turn our attention to refreshing the FOG. It's built on some pretty archaic technology, and we're exploring ways to modernize and improve it (without changing the features and functionality that users currently expect).

Please, please, pretty please, with cherry on top:

Please make sure when updating the forum not to lose non-thumbnail images (like it seems to have happened some years ago), since looking at older posts and getting a 404 when clicking on a thumbnail that seems to (according to the text) hold the answer to my question just disappoints.

Would be a shame should more posts be turned into empty clickbait for readers because of missing pictures

I still can't see any accessories. When is the projected fix date?

Have you tried a dealers site instead? Tool nut or Bob Marinos site should show accessories... just a thought

I went to festoolusa.com to try and find an answer for a poster here and none of the router accessories came up.  Went to look for saw blades for the TS-55.  Nope.  Looked for tracks.  Nope.  Looked for jigsaw blades.  Nope.

Also, I haven't been in the buying mode as of late, but weren't prices posted on the website prior because they weren't in the catalog?

Just letting you know because I imagine that accessories and necessities add to the bottom line.

As I said earlier, we are aware that the accessories/search features aren't displaying on some browsers, and we're working to fix it. Our website is pretty old and built with some now-antiquated technology, so fixes like this aren't always simple.

In the meantime, you can find accessories and consumables in our 2016 catalog:http://festoolusa.com/media/pdf/USA_Catalog_2016.pdf

Prices are in the US catalog. They're not in the Canadian catalog.

I am sorry [member=57769]TylerC[/member].  I didn't realize that the printed version had the pricing and the pdf version (which is what I was looking at) didn't.  I'll use my hardcopy one from now on.

Not a problem. I understand that the website is an easier option for many people, so we're working to have it fixed ASAP. (I just can't say for sure when that will be.)
