The cost if purchased in July or August is $425 (US of course -with duty and exchange and brokerage it will end up a lot more in Canadian $). The specs about the router were very recently put on the Festool USA web site.
Last March I started a thread entitled "When will Festool sell a router with a 1/2 inch collet in North America?". Bob Marino replied: "Will be available before the summer, and yes will be less than $500.00." Well summer will have been here for 10 days by the time the router is for sale, but that close enough Bob. And $425 is less than $500. It is still a lot of money; but money that I now need to seriously think about whether or not I will spend.
