I did note that Richard took the feedback form a previous FOG thread and restated their delivery estimate:

"Delivery is estimated to be in September, 2015. However because the actual number to be manufactured won't be known until the sale ends, the actual ship date may vary."

Gotta give them points for that.

I got my guides from RMW and he shipped right away.
No wait and no hastle
And they work perfect
AND a whole lot less expense.

Hi Tinker,
I only quoted RMW because his post published the anticipated ship date. (Thank you RMW!). I look forward to shooting business his way when the need arises.

As far as the popcorn, I always crack up when the FOG has these heated threads about the OTT program and ship dates.  ::)
I suppose I'm poking fun at myself for signing on, knowing full well that 'they'll be here when they get here'.  ;)
Best Regards,
Dave
 
Is this a bit like Schrödinger's Woodpecker? Any day it may or may not have been delivered to your home.
 
My WP parallel guide system hit my charge card. I called and my order was packed on Friday and ships on Monday. YMMV

Cool...thanks for the heads-up.  [thumbs up]

This Woodpeckers One Time Tool thing is like Christmas all year round...
 
How did you find out yours is with ups...? I am waiting for these to start a cabinet project and I can't hardly stand my self with the anticipation.  [eek]
 
I made these parallel and crosscut guides on my desktop CNC out of scrap plywood and they work great! [smile]

Mine came Monday via UPS. The outside box was pretty beat up but it was double boxed (the outside box was much too large so being bumped and/or thrown around would damage it much more easily) so the set was just fine. I did note that some of the smaller parts like the rail connectors were out of their assigned spot but no damage that I could tell. I have found this to be common when getting new Festools.

It will be a while before I have time to set it up and test it out.

If anyone else cares to know, I called woodpecker today after hearing some of yours had shipped and mine has not. They told me approximately two more weeks on orders with the metric rails.

I ordered Metric as well through a dealer.
I just got an email telling me to expect 11/01/15 as a shipping date

I have an e account with UPS and have my preferences set to notify me when a package is in transit to my house.

Saved $300 by making them on a $10,000 CNC machine! [emoji41]
 
Mine showed up yesterday and they look great. My only complaint is the rock hard top layer of foam in the systainer makes it hard to get the rails out...... Softer foam like in the lower half would have been better.
