Saw your thread re-WC2K @ Bunnings Auburn and jumped in the ute next morning and drove to Sydney to check it out.
A few knobs missing and broken Stop switch flap but overall seems sound.
Look forward to fitting my saw this evening and having a muck about with it.
Thanks again

Make a list of what is missing/broken and contact Triton to see how much they would cost as spares. Their spares pricing was always very reasonable.

The stop switch may be a bit more expensive, so you might want to make a replacement flap and rivet/screw it on. It is very useful being able to stop the saw with your knee, particularly when both hands are occupied holding the timber you are cutting.

We still have a couple of 235mm triton saws at the clearance centre for $280.
We may also have some of the spares you need. We have some of the red stop flaps, micro adjuster assemblies (RTA374), finger post assemblies (RTA395) and some Round knobs (wca343).
Our address is 12 Wiggs Rd, Riverwood.

That should be enough to convince anybody - go get one!

I just got a router table and stand from the local Bunnings that is shutting down and rang Triton (GMC) with a list of missing parts. As the girl was working out what they would cost me, I mentioned it was an ex display model and these bits didn't come with it.

She told me she would call me back with the price, and when she did call told me the parts would all be free..needless to say I was blown away. So give them a call and mention it's the display model, I can't see why they wouldn't do the same for you.

That's just the sort of service that ends up making a lot more money than the parts cost them, I will definitely keep buying Triton...of course I am sucking up, the parts haven't come yet!

The development of the Bunnings ex-display WC2K continues.

The only essential piece missing is the 'sliding chassis lock' that clicks into place after fitting the saw in ripping mode. (The excited-child-with-new-toy in me jimmied up a stop just to get a cut out of the saw last night!)
But a call to the Triton mob may be in order for that one.

More worrying is the pieces that are left over. After searcing high and low I'm buggered where they go and what they do.

Could some learned soul have a look at the pics on the link above and identify them for me please?

Note that the piece on the right has had one end broken off it. It was swinging off the pipe at the furthest end of the sliding chassis (from the switch end of the machine).

The other bloke was just in the "Here take the lot mate!" bag the fellow at Bunnings gave me upon purchase. We looked for likely spots for it and in the end he suggested it may have come from another machine (eg. router table etc.) that was also offered for sale in the disply clearance.

What do you think?

Hmmm me thinks Gumby has become more talkative or less shy of late.. i recall pointing out his 2000th post on 11th July 2003 . Assuming his join date is correct it took two years to hit 200 but only another 6mths for the next 2000 !!!!

Alll those gems of wisdom we have been getting )

Thanks Normell trawled through the Parts lists for Triton products and foung the item with the black knob in the Router Table RTA 300.
Its a Micro Adjuster.

I assume this a bit left over from the clearance of ex-display stock from Bunnings Auburn and is not used on the WC2.

Fair assumption?

As for the other bit - still a mystery.

It's what you have orded as the sliding chasis lock.

It is the clip which clips on to the sliding saw chasis via the round section and the u shaped end clips onto the rail on the under side of the table. This stops the chasis sliding along under the table top during use. It goes the way up you have it in the first pic, except it appears that one end of the 'U' shape has been snapped off.

Once you get the new one and get the chasis in the right spot for the clip to attach to the table top, put a texta mark or scratch a mark on the aluminium side rails so you know exactly where to put the chasis each time. You only have to get it right once that way.

Also correct about the micro adjuster, it's from the router table and not used on the WC2000

Good work Gumby!
Much thanks - can retire for the night knowing all is well in Triton-land!

I took Graham up on this offer of the Triton saw @ $280.
Very helpful fellow

The Triton saw makes so much difference, besides freeing up my old 7 inch Makita for utility work. The biggest difference I noticed was that with the Triton saw on the table I could rip and crosscut much larger stock and the Triton has so much more umph!
