Festool Junkie Blog

Festool Junkie is stocked and ready to rock on distribution of the three new
tools launching May 1st. You still have time to order the Festool MFK 700 Set,
Festool OF 2200 Router and Base Sets (Festool OF 2200 Metric Base Set, and Festool OF 2200 Imperial
Base Set), and of course, The all new Festool MFT/3 Multifunction Table.

Despite pre-selling many of these items to get an accurate count on “first round distribution.” Festool Junkie went against the grain (as usual) and took on extra inventory for those who remained on the fence regarding ordering these items. I am amazed with the excitement over the MFK 700 and it’s versatility, the OF 2200 and it’s “Mamba-Jamba-ness” and it’s incredible nimbleness for it’s size, and of course the greatly anticipated MFT/3 has been huge!!! I kinda thought the MFT/3 would be a strong seller after the MFT 1080 went out of production.

Solid Surface fabricators are actually drooling over the 2200. With a significant price tag, I was unsure about how sales would be. When a SS guy gets this router in front of them, many were indifferent regarding the price, and once they saw the end-product…price really wasn’t relevant. One of our clients in KC said it best; “Timmy, it really doesn’t matter what you are going to charge me for these routers (they bought both the MFK and OF 2200). What I know is that there is not another product that will let me do this type of work with the dust control and the time involved. Dude, just make sure they are on their way May 1 and it’s all good!.”
