I'm in

Putting aside the obvious bonus of the safety system on the SawStop, you cannot fault the build quality on them...there is just nothing else that comes close. They look identical on the outside, but...

Just to confirm.....The current specification distributed by Carba-Tec in Australia:

Triton TRA001B 3-1/4HP (2400W) (or TRA001-AUS as it may be marked on the box), HAS the dedicated 1/2" and 1/4"...

This item is available ex stock Carba-Tec Brisbane and quite possibly in Melbourne and Adelaide. It is a stocked accessory that allows fitment of the height winder kit to the older model series...

Pellcorp,

Sorry for the confusion....we try our hardest, but alas....

The addition of both the Height Winder Handle, and the dedicated 1/2" & 1/4" collets was a late one. The catalogue was...

Scribbly Gum...

Thanks for your support. And as I'm sure you know...there is NO comparison between the two routers. The Triton router is the ONLY router designed for table mounting and in...

Carba-Tec have ordered the latest model Triton Router, and expect to see them arrive end March/Early April 2010.

The latest model features the 'through the table' winder and two dedicated collets...

I had a small issue with that...it turned out to be the SD card was not in the slot correctly. I pushed it back in...restarted and.. Presto!

I found the leaning curve very small. If you've got a...

Competition...yes. There certainly was competition, and look where it got us, and what effect it had on the Triton brand.

Firstly...YES we will include the MOF in the range. This should happen...

As we move forward, and the owners of the Triton brand re-negotiate with the former maufacturers, we MAY be able to source some spares for older Triton products. It all depends on if they still make...

Main reason for the lack of knowledge is the fact that the deal was not done until a couple of weeks ago, and officially, we don't become distributors until 1st Jan 2010.

We have tried to keep it...

John G,

Sorry you found our display at the Melbourne T&WWW show dissapointing. I spend many hundreds of hours in the lead up to the show, working out the best possible range of products to take...

Yes, This is the same model as sold at Rockler, plus we are bringing in the larger CNC Shark PRO. We have had to have a few modifications's done to make sure the unit is electrically safe, and okay...

If the router is lacking lift in free plunge mode...it could be that the plunge spring has been removed (for under table use...). It is very (very) obvious if the spring is NOT in when you have it...

Lyle..

Try Carba-Tec stores (or on the website). We had the same machine available (plus a large range of moulding blades) a few years ago.

If you do a search on the site..type in 'CV-' in the...

On larger work....the Triton will be fine. The un-even surface will not affect the over work.

When it comes to doing fine stuff...the Triton's un-even (or un-flat) surface causes noticable...

"the former owners were part of a consortium that bought GMC and Triton so yes they are still involved..."

Well....knock me over with a feather!!!

Would NEVER have guessed that!!

Lets hope these new investors (who I am sure will bring a wealth of experience from within the power tool industry) can keep the the brand alive. Surely if they had any trouble running similar...

Sorry guys...got no original material...so rears a repeat of some old stuff..
.........................

But here is some notes I orininally posted early 2005 year regarding saw alignment...

This manual is now up and ready for you download.

Just go to the Carbatec site (www.carbatec.com.au) and search for:

CTH-110L 1PH

or

CTH-110LT 1PH

Keep your eyes peeled to the Carba-Tec site (on the specific product page for the CTH-110L and LT).

The manual should be posted there sometime today!

I thing everyone else has given up on this thread ! Its so far off track now...I cant remember how it started...

Ah...but Grasshopper, have you forgot your training ??

Constant downward on the protractor, pushing from directly on the two knobs... this will eliminate almost all the sidways movement as you...

Stuart...a thought !!

again...not the best solution for the Triton..but worth a try.

Clamp a small block of wood to the triton protractor (on the long side)...lock it at 0deg.....put the Deluxe...

Yep! All sold...many thanks to all who enquired.

The lucky recipient will probably reveal himself when it comes time to untangle the carefully knotted orange mass heading his way...and figure out...

Selling ??.......SOLD!

Finally upgraded (just dont ask me to put it in the wagon and dropin round your place!.....hernia still healing!)

Those thing were built are built like a preverbial brick out-house. I have mine loaded up (probably beyond the rated capacity), and I use the bottom of one set as a wall mounted table/storage shelf...

I would love to tell you all how fantastic I am, and how the camera is just extension of the photographers obviously highly sensitive and finely tuned eye. I could then go on for hours about the...

Neil,

Great buying, and a damn fine choice. I purchased a D80 in mid July, and have clocked up 3600+ shots so far. Great choice in the VR lens, I have the non VR equivilant, but cant say I have...

D'Oh!

Great news.....looks like Gordon will be busy!!

Hey completeanateur.....

No PM recieved...better try again.

Tony

Just to clarify....

I was refering to the closing of Triton's Cheltenham manufacturing facitity, that Eagle claimed on July 3 2008 "....its not going anywhere mate......"

When he refered to...

Jean-Marc...

Check your PM....

Tony..

Well the upgrade is proceeding nicely....

Managed to carefully and with great precision, unload the new CTH-110L 3HP 200kg Left tilting beast (meaning dodgely and with much swearing... balance the...

goning....going....GONE!

SOLD

Finally...I have upgraded, and I need to make room for the big stuff!

I am selling my entire Workcentre Series 2000 setup which includes:

The Workcentre series 2000...

Agreed.... and its a pain dragging the full bag around on the floor, and an in line dust seperator will help.

But..when was the last time you did only one mortise?

Goes without saying that its probably not 'economical' to buy, setup, learn how to use and machine cut one mortice. But if you have many, and...

Decent quality drill type mortising chisels makes a huge difference too. We used to (and I think, still do) sell these attachments with chisels. We asked the manufacturer to melt them a down and...

Hey Eagle..

Not lookin too good!:wink:

Only half a bay in that big important area in in Cairns.

(see posts in "Who's killing Triton?" if you want to get up to speed).

With all this messing around...why not but a proper dust extractor. It might set you back a couple of hundred...but it will do the job a lot better, for a lot longer, straight out of the box. See...

Ah, but then they do anyway...

Gordon...A font?

Well there goes his ego...

Does anyone want a sneak peek at the store?

A great range of Carving, Turning, Dovetailing and Hand tools and accessories, along with a huge range of power tools and machinery (Including a full...

Selling, and having used (in a limited capacity) both the old Porter Cable - and the Planex... the Festool unit has finally addressed many of the design limitations that the Porter-Cable unit has.

The adaptor you speak of IS available, and is usually stocked bt Carba-Tec Brisbane (and quite possibly other Carba-Tec branches).
