HI to on here all from the Isle of Man. (Home of the TT Motorcycle races)
G'day all, well I suppose I'd better get with the local greeting.
So why am I here?
You can see from my name that I am indeed an Elderly Gent, but many years ago in the 1980s I bought one of the early Triton workcentres and was duly impressed. Many years later, a few weeks ago actually, being retired for some years I decided to upgrade my shed and went the whole Triton route. All this new stuff is mighty impressive, but it seems to take more time to set things up than to actually make things. I suppose practice will help there.
But now I need some advice. I need to add a sacrificial board to the workcentre fence, to raise its height so that vertical work can be held upright exactly. I am thinking of about 6 to 8 inches, or whatever that may be in Mm. The problem is that the back of the original fence is not flat, so there is nothing to clamp to. I do see a couple of small slots, one at either end of the fence, so I assume there is some way of attaching a board to the front of the fence, but HOW TO DO IT?
Talking or writing here leads me on to a moan about that fence................That I do not like, as it is impossibe to NUDGE it a fraction either way to or from the saw blade whenn creeping up to a mark. Most other fences with a singe side lock are kept at right angles to the blade all the time.
OK I maybe missing something here, but surely someone who has solved this will tell me how to fix it, well I hope so.
Otherwise all is fine and dandy.
Previous post on here seem to stop about 2012 so I hope this is not an omen of lack of use.
Anyway, lets see what comes back.

G'Day & Welcome to the Great Southern Land and to a top forum "Elderly Gent".
There are quite a few members from the UK plus Europe and the rest of the world.....
You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
Apologies, but I can't help Triton though I'm sure someone will be able to help.
Make sure you show off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP [Work In Progress] photos with build notes.
Enjoy the forum.
Enjoy your woodwork.....
Cheers from On Top DownUnder, crowie
PS - There is a big Triton Users Club in our national capital Canberra which may also be able to help...

Hi,
Which work center are you talking about? Not many of the mark 7 have got here so most of us do not know it. I have a 2000.
Yours in the HobbyHugh
