    Default Dismantling the Triton MOF001 Router

    As promised in another thread, I have now written a web page with complete instructions for the dismantling of this router.

    I hope it helps.

    It's to be found here for anyone who is interested.

    Ray, what can I say? It is up to your usual high standard, have duly printed it to a pdf file and saved as well as printed it and filed it in the Triton Router folder.

    As I have just acquired one of these to keep its' big brother company, I'm sure this will be needed one day.

    Thanks again.

    That's awesome - thanks Ray.

    I dropped my router and busted up the internals of the handle winding mechanism pretty badly. The shop I took it too said it's very tricky to get into the handles.

    Do you know how this bit is done? I'd love to know so I don't have to go through that whole repair process again if (heaven forbid) I managed to bust the thing again...

    Thanks again,
    Dave

    I'll have a look tomorrow, Dave. It's just past midnight here, so I'd better not start poking about in the workshop now!

    I dunno mate - you should be able to get it apart tonight, even if it is past midnight.

    Just leave it 'til the morning to re-assemble should be no problems!!

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Now, Dave, I'm sure that you're a great bloke, etc. and I usually try to help everyone, but before I attempted getting into the winding handle mechanism I thought I'd look up the parts diagram. I've isolated the relevant bit below:



    If mine was broken, I'd have a punt, but it isn't and looking at the diagram, there seems to be a high possibility of a "boinggg!" followed by bits everywhere.

    I'd agree with the guy who said "tricky to get into." Maybe when I'm a bit bored, or more reckless, I'll try it, but seeing as how I'm taking Jean out for the day in less than an hour, that won't be today, sorry mate!

    The original page on dismantling (here for anyone interested) has now been updated to include Triton part numbers.

    Depending upon your browser, you might need to press "Reload" or "Refresh" if the page loads without them. HTH

    Hi Ray,

    I totally agree with your decision not to destroy a totally good router... You're right - if i managed to break it again, I'll have a crack at it, then sweep up all of the bits and take it to the friendly repair man to put back together

    Thanks for an excellent how-to guide. I have saved it and whilst I hope I never need it, it's nice to know it's there...

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Well, Ozkaban, I didn't want to wimp out, so I took the trusty camera into the workshop, got down the router and went ahead.

    It was nowhere near as difficult as I'd imagined from the parts diagram (still essential to print out and have nearby, though). Once dismantled, the design becomes clear. I gave the mechanism a clean, lightly lubed with dry PTFE spray, then re-assembled. Nothing left over and everything works fine! I've added the pictures to the original page, link as before.

    As I was on a roll, I also updated my page on the TRA001 with the earlier "push and twist" plunge selector. Same process of pics, etc. plus I've also added a link to parts diagrams on both pages now (which open in a new window) and links between the pages. HTH.

    Ray.
