Shaper Orders End October 31 Before the Festool Transition
Shaper orders end October 31, accounts move to MyFestool on December 15, and the product lineup moves into Festool’s portfolio beginning in 2027.
Shaper will accept direct orders through October 31, begin moving accounts to MyFestool on December 15, and place the lineup in Festool’s portfolio in 2027. Before the transition, confirm your account email, download critical files when Shaper’s export becomes available, and check whether your purchase and registration meet the stated three-year warranty conditions.
Three dates control the handoff: October 31, December 15 and 2027
Beginning November 1, the FAQ identifies ShaperTape as the item available through Festool’s shop during the transition.
Shaper says matching email addresses will merge, a new password will be required, and files and licenses will remain.
Service continues during the transition, while warranty coverage depends on purchase date, registration and the applicable program.

The Shaper handoff is a three-date ownership checklist
Shaper says it will accept direct orders through October 31. Starting November 1, the transition FAQ specifically identifies ShaperTape as available through Festool’s shop. Account migration to MyFestool begins December 15, and the product lineup is expected to enter Festool’s portfolio in 2027 while service continues through the handoff.
This is a portfolio transition, not an acquisition or a shutdown. Shaper says files and licenses will remain, but the promised bulk-download timing is still open. Matching account emails are expected to merge, and users will need a new MyFestool password. The Crafty Catsman has not tested the account migration, service handoff, or warranty process. Place a needed direct Shaper order by October 31 only after confirming the exact warranty and support path. Match account email addresses and prepare for a new MyFestool password when migration begins December 15.
The calendar matters more than the company framing
Direct Shaper orders run through October 31. From November 1, the FAQ names ShaperTape as available through Festool’s shop during the transition. Account migration begins December 15; matching emails should merge, a new password is required, and files and licenses are expected to remain. Shaper promises a bulk-download option but does not yet give its availability date. The lineup is planned for Festool’s portfolio in 2027.
Ownership continuity depends on records and registration: Shaper says current service continues. Active warranty or Pro Care coverage still depends on registration, while purchases from August 1 through October 31 are described as receiving Festool’s standard three-year warranty. Those conditions should be checked against the exact purchase and registration record rather than treated as universal coverage.
- When will Shaper release the promised bulk file-download tool?
- Which accessories beyond ShaperTape will be available during each part of the transition?
- What exact service intake path will apply after the 2027 portfolio handoff?
Wait if the exact support path is still unclear:Wait when the product, accessory, export timing, service path, or warranty condition you need is not stated in the official records.
Proceed only with a documented transition path:Place a needed direct Shaper order by October 31 only after confirming the exact warranty and support path.
