The JOF001 is the smallest of the three Triton make. I have the TRA001 for under-table and kitchen worktop jig use, the MOF001 for use with the Leigh jigs and the JOF001 for general light-duty...

Have a look at The Triton 1400W Router - A Comparative Review - which shows the MOF001, with a link to the JOF001 at the bottom. Hope you find what you're after.

There is and it's designed for inverted use. Look at the Triton TRA001, MOF001 or JOF001 and check the reviews on my pages here: The Triton 1010W Router - JOF001

Tonto - there is a better router out there - look at the Festool range, then look at the price!

I would now dismantle it the correct way and check all the mating surfaces for wear or damage. There can be a significant amount of build-up by the bearings into which the posts ride. This build-up...

I'm late to the thread also, but the topic of router lifts has been running for years. I never could see the point in buying a lift which, apart from only performing one simple function that already...

The position of the winding handle when viewed from the front of any fence should be between 4 and 5 o'clock, so the router orientation relative to the table becomes important. This would not be so...

A Router Raizer is probably the biggest waste of money for use with a TRA001 I can imagine. Aside from losing depth of cut, you would also lose the ability to change bits above the table. I don't...

The quick answer is "No," the long answer is "It IS possible, but don't do it."

The lower part of the motor housing (the silver part) of the later models has a correctly-positioned hole for the...

Sorry to contradict you, but there's nothing bad about the video, other than being slightly repetitive, as it shows the problem accurately and completely. That's astonishingly poor design IMO.

Ray

That's fine in the circumstances you outline, but it's also, IMO, irrelevant to this thread as you're describing a commercial use - thereby involving all sorts of risk assessment and safety...

In the early days of "domestic" (i.e., hobbyist) routers, in order to save costs they were often supplied with one large collet (usually ½", depending on country) and a reducing insert for the...

I saw your solution, Rob. My reply was to Andrew. :)

Ray

As Kuffy said above, try - WITH THE POWER OFF - turning the shaft by ⅛ of a turn, then try again. If it fires up, then it's worn/damaged field windings more than likely. Has it ever been stalled?

You must be careful of those slight pumps! :)

In the original design, the worm gear was the shear point in the event of too much force being applied, or forces being built up by other elements, such as dust and/or debris clogging the mechanism....

There is no benefit in replacing the handle assembly, as the wear will be totally in the worm shaft. Just replace that with the alloy version and you'll be fine. REMOVE THE PLUNGE SPRING and leave...

Don't waste your money on any kind of router lift for use with the Triton TRA001 - it's not necessary and has downsides as well. Firstly, you will lose the ability to change bits above the table,...

Screwing the holding brackets into MDF does have its limits, especially with the skew forces there will be once the router loads up for a cut. I'd keep any eye on those screws.

Ray

Looks like I got hold of the wrong end of the sticK :B - we call the part that Kuffy referred to "above-the-table winders" over here! However, if I was correct, the links will show the relevant...

Can I be rude enough to ask why you need the handle assembly? Problems with winding when inverted are usually related to the worm gear shaft, not the handle assembly itself. If the router was, for...

I live in the UK. If it would help, you could get Tool Spares Online to send it to my UK address, then I will post it onto you. I cannot imagine that I couldn't post such a part for considerably less...

There's a conversion chart on my website, if that's of any use. You could print it as well, HTH. MILLIMETER EQUIVALENTS

I found the same problem with the TRA001 and - to some extent - the MOF001. I bought the smallest Triton, the JOF001, for the Leigh and I'm really delighted with it. Here's my review of it, if it...

The overall width of the jointer is shown as 680mm. This must be one dimension of the MDF slider. The other dimension should be easy to calculate (and refine) by measuring the rectangle in the table....

Since I discovered Wealden Tools, I have not bought anywhere else. Great product, British bearings used throughout, swift mail order service (anywhere). Recommended highly. Wealden Tool Company...

I've just been to check my TRA001, as I couldn't believe you would need to file anything to make an accredited accessory fit. My baseplate fits correctly and always has done, so I can't imagine why...

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):

It was mostly good. I had a panel van at the time which I fitted out to be able to carry all the Triton gear - and in the old days, there was a lot! - to and from woodworking shows or salesrooms....

I'm not sure what "It would be noted in the comments that it is what *I* do" refers to or means. My concern is that - as has happened before - reading such comments (without a disclaimer of some...

I use PTFE spray as it's non-sticky and does not attract/collect dust itself. An example is here: WD-40 Specialist Dry PTFE Lubricant - 150G - Supercheap Auto Australia

Ray

The plastic slide switch incorporates the power interlock safety, so you have removed that - voiding any warranty (if applicable), rendering the machine unsafe and compromising its design features....

Which switch are you referring to, Tahlee? The one on the router, or the one on the table?

Ray

Glad to hear that the router is OK!

Ray

Sounds like a fault in the primary winding - has it been stalled recently?

Ray

Thanks for the heads up, Lappa. Link fixed now (I hope!).

Ray

I'd get a suitable length(s) of hardwood, chamfer/profile that (on a table) then attach it to the MDF top. MDF edges are notorious for being soft, going "fluffy" and are open to absorbing fluids and...

No worries! I used to demonstrate and troubleshoot for Triton in the UK and when their Caerphilly (Wales) base closed down, the stock was then distributed by a company in Yeovil (UK) called...

Sales have probably dropped off, Doug. :o

The finger jointer originally came with a stepped bit, as shown in the picture below:

What about Triton's JOF001?

The RSA200 was superseded by the RSA 300. Have a look at the page here: Tool Spares Online. Router Stand and see if they look similar enough first. Then have a look at my Triton page here: Triton...

I would still go for the TRA001 as it gives you more flexibility and future-proofing. Although the Scheppach is a good brand, you can't use it on, for example, a Leigh jig or anything else that...

I totally agree with bsrlee - leave the Triton drills well alone and go for a known market leader in the field. I'd recommend Makita as a good mid-range tool, as their batteries seem to go on for...

Festool products are probably a good reason for the phrase "You get what you pay for." I'm a dedicated Triton fan (and well-known for it) but I'd replace the lot with Festool if I was going to be...

There it is in a nutshell! Don't waste money on complicated fence systems, they will not improve your skill, or your experience. A simple fence can and will cope, allowing the workpiece to be run...

I regularly use my Triton MOF001 on the Leigh, but I bought their JOF001 specifically for use with the jig and it's great! My review at The Triton 1010W Router - JOF001

As A Duke says, the answer to this depends entirely upon the type of collet nut fitted to the router. It can only be one of two types, the original "Hitachi-style" which is a male nut fitting INTO a...
