Router inlay jig
Wow what a karfuffle, forget the green shed, the mob west of the green shed in balcatta has reinvented the term customer service. My enquiry almost ended in a physical confrontation.
What I am trying to find out:
Will this inlay jig mount under the original Triton router or do I have to outlay a further 80-90 bucks for a Triton template base?????

Such a simple enquiry, such a dramatic response.

Gday cobber,
Thanks for the reply.
Is it yes it will fit, or yes i need a template base.
looking at this video the sub base seems to be above the normal plate??????

I wanted to put mine on a little trimmer, I made my own template base out of perspex.

Cliff, Hi, Yeah thinking of doing that,\.
I have a rotary tool that takes 1/4 inch router bits,
unfortunately not plunge, and a milescraft base plate from a sign making kit, so will attempt a marriage between the two.
Or make a thin adapter plate.I tried to be normal once.

A Duke,
Sorry missed a bit. They who will remain nameless didn't actually say yes to the triton baseplate, his attitude was shut up you don't know what you are talking about.

Hi,
Yes you will need the template kit. A plate fits between the router and the base plate, this has the screw holes to mount the guides in the kit which include a plate with a hole to line every thing up, this plate is also for fitting brass guide like the one in your kit.
Like Cliff I got a trimmer but found it unsatisfactory as it does not have a plunge mode, and at 75 I find I am not steady enough for the inserts, the recess is OK as you do not have to start exactly on the line.
Hope this helps you and your teddy.
RegardsHugh

Hi,
I had not viewed the video when I made the last reply. The link did not work as it has an extra http in front. Having now seen it I do not recognise the adaptors used in the video, so to show you what I am talking about, here are the instructions for my template kit.

Baseplate
Hi Pete
I use the brass guides on my Triton quite a bit. I knocked up a perspex base plate for the Triton on the CNC machine. Still have the code for it.
If you want, I can knock one up for you. Not sure where in Perth you are, but if it's worth it to you to come to Ellenbrook for one, I'm happy to do a freebie for you.

OK I ended up with a Milescraft inlay kit. cost around 65.00, only 15 bucks more than the brass inlay kit. The Milescraft comes complete with base, 4 template plates,4 guides, etc etc.
It will rout designs,rout cutouts and also do the same inlay function as the brass thingy.
Got it from Hague Gobby, Bench Standard in Melbourne. Ordered it Monday, arrived in the back blocks of WA on Wednesday.
Haven't used it in anger as yet, tried design work, ,inlay and a cutout, seems to work real good.
All that for sixty five bucks plus freight. I stopped adding up around $ 140 dollars at they who shall not be named, and ended up with a more versatile gadget.
The Gobby's are firing up big time and already demonstrating their usual can do attitude.
