T-7:
According to my knowledge the production of T-7 ended sometime in mid April. After this date Tormek started to get ready of the production of T-8.
Just imagine, some dealers might still have 10+ T-7s on stock. It's a good thing if potential customers can visit the website of the manufacturer and find useful information there before purchasing.
As far I know the T-3 was also listed as an available model one and half year after the release of the T-4. I expect the same from T-7 for the same reason. This is perfectly logical for marketing point of view.
As for the new website, I like it. Especially the FAQ and #Tormek images is a nice touch.
However some information is now harder to find. For example the already mentioned forum and warranty information.
What I always missed from Tormek is a list of upcoming exhibitions. Not just for the ones organized by Tormek HQ but also organized by individual distributors. Sometimes there is info on Tormek's facebook page about exhibitions but usually too late to visit these. What I'm thinking is a calendar. The marketing department could ask the distributors every January to provide the necessary information for the year, and upload it in the calendar.
