    Default Spotted - the new Triton benchmounted spindle sander.

    Now I had heard of this one and was interested in what it looked like. I found this image on the US Triton website:


    These are some approximate specs for it:

    420Watt motor, with a no-load speed of 2000RPM. It does approx 60 oscillations/minute with a 16mm stroke. It weights 14.6kg, and has a 370mm x 290mm tabletop.


    It has 6 sanding sleeves, from 12.5mm to 75mm diameter (I’ve rounded these from their imperial measurements, so don’t rely on them exactly)

    No idea about availability in Australia, or price.

    It's interesting that a so called Australian Company is releasing these products in the states before they do so in Australia. Must be looking for the larger market to make a bigger profit.

    I saw this machine for sale at the Brisbane Working with Wood Show in April..but the table doesn't tilt, so I passed on it.

    Sorry Count, no real idea here (I'm guessing in the $350 bracket, but that is a total guess).

    I don't remember the exact price at the WWS BUT I did note that you could but this machine together with the Belt/Disc Sander for about $90 less than the 3 in 1 Spindle/Belt/Disc machine
