    Default Great Deal

    Yesterday I was looking to purchase a Triton router table but was having trouble finding one. Carbatec said they wouldn't have stock for a few months. I rang a Mitre 10 Megastore that was close by and they sold me the table, stand and some sort of winder all fo $200. Said they wanted to get rid of it. There's not a mark on it.

    I am over the moon.

    Wow thats awesome.

    Wonder if the winder is table saw height winder seen here:
    Triton® Height Winder Kit : CARBA-TEC

    Not much use on a router table.
    Let me know if it is and want to get rid of it.

    Yeah that's it. The orange bits at the top aren't there though. Just the winder and some other bits and pieces. I might hang on to it as I want a work center next.

    I have finished putting the table together and used it for the first time today. All I can say is I should of got one earlier.

    Cheers

    Yes I would also be interested to know which one.

    Also you can't go wrong with a Triton WorkCentre 2000.

    Have fun

    The deal was a one off. The guy in the store said they wanted it off the floor in a hurry ( I dont think they are going to stock them anymore). They were concerned that there was some bits missing but it was all there.

    A question on the work center if I can. I have a drop saw that mitres and bevels at the moment, apart from ripping, what will the work center do that the drop saw cant?

    Thanks

    That's pretty much it. Would look for a table that has a tilt function on the blade, which Triton doesn't. So you can rip bevels if needed.

    With the WorkCentre your depth and length of cross cut is also much larger than any stand drop saw I have seen.
