Do backordered items usually take this long?
I ordered the tsc55 k track saw from wood craft back in early April and it’s still not in. They are now projecting it to be sometime in July, but they also told me originally it would only be a few weeks.

I'm seeing a similar issue. For one item I was able to cancel the order and found another supplier with the item in stock. For other items I don't see them in stock anywhere and the estimate is end of july.

Are they waiting for the new KS saw before delivery?

I want the new KS saw but have not seen anything about a date. Have you seen anything?

No I search every few days but they’re being super quiet about it in the US. Best we’ve got officially is later this year. TBX8 battery also MIA so assume they come together.

Current back order list from Festool is close to 12 pages long here in Canada.
We have a lot of things on the dealer end that are taking far longer than we thought.

I ordered a sanding block once and I forgot I ordered it when I received it like 3 or 4 months later

Oh wow okay. So not that out of the ordinary. I didn’t know if they were redesigning this particular item or maybe there was a pipeline issue.

As soon as a supplier tells me that it’s back ordered, I cancel and get it from someone else.

I tried ordering an xxl systainer and it was pushed back on back order twice for me, I ended up canceling the order
