Thread: Urgent advice on Workcentre 2000

I agree. They should look like this:

I'm always happy to learn, but my wheels were fitted this way (at least back in 2007). I still remember getting my ankles or bootlaces caught on those infernal latches as I moved around the Workcentre. I'm no midget but perhaps my shoes are smaller/bigger than others. Thanks for the comments guys.

Sooooo.....your wheels face inwards and the latches are on the inside of the legs, as per Ray's photo, and you still manage to get tangled up???....I give up.

Discussion about Triton gear seems to bring the best and worst of the tool snobs out.

I started with a Mk3 about 1995, upgraded to a 2000 in about 2002, and then bit the bullet 2yrs ago and bought an MBS300.

I went this route, partly because of budget, space restraints and not knowing how much I would be using the equipment.

Since having the MBS300, I have done lots less woodwork than previously with the Triton though there are other factors that have caused this.

Oxblood says he is a weekend warrior, doesn't have the room to keep a saw setup all the time and has a limited budget, pretty much the situation I was in.

I believe that a properly setup Triton is a pretty good compromise in this situation. If, further down the track his situation changes and a permanent tablesaw is an option, there is always a market for 2nd hand Triton gear, and you don't lose too much $, especially if purchased 2nd hand.

I say go for it, enjoy what you do and whilst listening to the naysayers, because they have some valid points, don't be overly influenced by the negative rhetoric about Triton.

I would never have started down the long road of woodworking without Triton, so whilst the only Triton I now own is a 9 1/4" saw, I still have a soft spot for the old orange gear.

Thanks for the replies. I still haven't decided which route as yet.

Have found a Hitachi C10RC for sale locally, price is $450 and says its been used one. Looks like it folds away too.

Anyone had any experiences with this saw?
