    Default Cheap Ex display WC2K at Bunnings Auburn

    I was at Bunnings Auburn (Syd) today and they had a ex display WC 2000 for sale for $250! the top is a bit scratched up, but it wouldn't affect its performance!

    When you say "had", I'm assuming you meant "had" because you bought it. If not, go back and buy it go that price, of course there may be a few parts missing but nothing major I guessing...

    A few scratches won't make any difference- you should see mine!

    Thumbs up

    You should see one after it's had a lot of hardwood go over it. I'm not talking from experience here but I have seen the after effects though, both to a Workcentre and a Router Table.

    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Buy it, polish the top and advertise it on ebay as "assembled but never used"...

    THANKS!
    I have been an aspiring Triton owner for a while now.
    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

    Well done Jesso, have fun with it and be careful. Download instructions, maybe even go so far as to loosen a lot of the bolts etc and tighten them as you would when first assembled as this may not have been done properly when assembled for display stock.

    Thanks boys!

    Fitted saw, tightened all bolts as per manual, goes well.

    Easy to operate and gives a good cut considering coarse teeth on saw.

    Worth spending extra money for Triton saw? - would like to keep existing circular saw as a free agent and purchase another just for the table.

    Or will a second hand saw off ebay do? (nice Hitachi with no work and 2 spare blades on there at the moment)

    Bugger me, I didn't even realize I'd officially joined the ranks of the insane. Thanks mate.

    Think I'd better go and get a life.
