Thanks.. Interesting.. I have been eyeing off the Triton Routers for a while now however I am currently using a Makita Router which has had very little work and I cannot justify another one right now.. I agree the above-the-table-bit-changing is a big plus to the busted fingers and knuckles from the "ordinary" routers..
Cheers
Bevan

The cutter has to deal with two pieces of stock, often hardwood, clamped together as shown in the picture below (Click on it to enlarge):

The cutter is static and the workpieces are pushed horizontally into the cutting edges. These are stepped in an attempt to clear chips faster - thus preventing clogging. I've found the cutter to be effective but, like any cutter, best operation comes from the appropriate feed rate.

various router cutter manufacturers describe the "steps" as chip breakers
e.g.
Amana tools -- these bits designed tio do deep slot and holes for tenon ... chip breaker for fast cuts and chip clearance
Carb-I-tool (Aus) -- with chip breaker
leitz (German?) -- for cutting tear free longitudinal slots with step wise feed ... with chip breaker for reduced cutting forcesregards from Alberta, Canada
