Looks by the listing that that’s the version with the t-loc systainer. Look for the version with the current generation systainer.

This is normal.

Festool produces all tools in batches. I would presume now they are working on getting as many of the new OF 1010's out as much as possible.

Beaver tools should not pass that info to customers in such a way as it can only cause misunderstanding. There are probably very few (if any) Festool production lines dedicated to a single tool such that you can say it "never stops being produced" over a year span etc. That is normal for small-to-mid volume tool companies.


One thing though come sto mind - does the current OF1400 have an NVR switch aka "anti-restart" feature after power is restored?

If not, I would expect Festool re-release an updated model with new electronics soon as it is mandatory in the EU to have NVRs for all handheld routers starting in Jan 1. Old stock can be sold but new tools cannot be produced or imported anymore.

That would not impact US market directly, but may cause a bit of a logistics re-shuffle trickling down even there. All that on top of the current electronics supplies crysis.

The Rockler website says my local (CA - Orange) has 2 on hand. I don't know if Rockler stores will ship phone orders but if you're in the US, it might be worth a try.

There was a 1400 on Recon back in early January priced at $468.75 (SKU 574692) but the listing was only active for about 90 seconds. Since September, there have been 5 1400s listed on Recon.
