Brilliant idea Chris for the doors to be covered when open ..Ta very much

We got flooded out of our home on 17th July with 150mm over the top of the carpets and waist high water outside. The house was yellow stickered and we bacame refugees!! All the furniture had to be...

Well, here we are in 2019 and its been three and a half year since I last posted anything about my Router Table ..... not to say nowt has happened because as usual with blokes on this site we are...

Thanks for your quick response Robson Valley .... All those points you raise would seem to be eliminated with the DeWalt version. I did buy one of the Black & Decker versions but having opened it up,...

DeWalt have an 8 volt Gyroscopic Screwdriver which seems to be a great little tool. It doesnt seem to be available outside of USA which is highly annoying to us down in NZ. All the reports on You...

Just recieved the "Back up" envelope from Veritas this morning. After buying the router plate second hand on Trade Me I saw on the Veritas web page there was a manual for the table and I e-mailed...

Yes I too had a Triton router table for the Triton router .... different kettle of fish because as you know they have a tailor made system to accept their router. However when I bought the Hitachi I...

Thanks Steven :B .... you are not wrong its bullet proof, 5 mm steel plate!! I'll add the photos from Veritas which expand on how it works. I asked what the two steel pins were for ... you screw...

I would have liked to buy the fence as well Les .. it was in a seperate auction but I think I really chanced my arm with SWMBO as it was .....but I am really pleased with the unit. It would have cost...

Sorry I have been dragging the heels a bit this last month a) The Aussies have been shoving the most putrid weather over here, cold and very wet b) I have had to tow the line with SWMBO (Pay back for...

Where and when did you get yours jimfish? Maybe the 12" does have it fitted.....mines the 10"

An update on the LED light. Having had justonething's reassurance that the voltage would not be a problem i asked my sister who lives in Florida to see if she could get me the DeWalt LED light...

footrot;1871465 ....I've been using a triton TRA001 in a triton router table but it too has died with armature problems. I'm reluctant to get another triton. I do like the above table feature of...

Hi Superbunny ..... Yes indeed the M12V does have soft start and I mean ... it does have soft start. The Triton I had was as though it didn't know anything about soft start. I was wary of the Hitachi...

Paul, I do hope it runs well for you and you have not the slightest problem ...... mine has now gone from The South Island and I hope the chap who bought it for $80 gets it going again and has far...

These photos show the "Front Door" ....keeping things simple and using materials I have to hand as much as possible I have now done the door to close the front. I had a nice bit of Pine which...

At present I have neither .... it seems from all accounts the LED is far better and more accurate than the Laser. It lights the work area and as it shines exactly from behind the saw blade the shadow...

justonething;1864388 - I don't think you will get any product details. Hopefully these pictures which are copied directly from the links provided should clarify some things. While I'm pretty sure it...

Thanks for your reply and the links 'justonething' ...... I am not clear about the power supply and I don't want to cough up and find its incompatible ... still trying to see if there are any pdf's...

Thanks Dallas ..... these look to be very much the ideal. What you say about holding it in the upright is quite correct however the lid is now quite hefty, especially so once the router is attached....

I have a DeWalt DW717 XE compound Mitre Saw which suits me down to the ground and am very happy with.

On Amazon DeWalt have an LED optional extra for the saw which shines a very accurate shadow...

I have drilled and tapped the sleeve which the s/s tube slides in and offered the prop up. The sleeve will rotate on the bolt to accept the angle as the table top is lifted. Problem is the length of...

OK Bob ... here is what I have dug up from all our store of 'goodies' to make a 'prop for the table top when hinged upwards.... thanks to you jigging my thoughts.

Nice length of s/s tube which...

OK Dallas ....attached is a close up photo of the depth setting Gizmo on the Hitachi M12V.

I think you can work it out without me having to describe. Plung the router with the bit in down to touch...

[QUOTE=Bob38S;1858512]Looking good.

Just a thought, the strut holding the top open, sooner or later the strut will get knocked, I would notch the bottom with a "V" cutout to make it more secure. ...

From one bloke in "The West" to another bloke in "The West" ...G'dday. Here, on the West Coast of the South Island we are variously called 'Feral' and 'Inbred' by a certain ex Prime Ministers but we...

Morning Dallas ... I will take a close up photo and describe properly what the little black knob does later in the day if thats ok? You are on the right track anyway.
David

Bolted the Hitachi M12V in this afternoon to test opening and shutting the table top, ease of adjusting router height, clearance and positioning of cupboard sides and any faults I had over looked.
...

:- Gee thanks for this Opelblues2 ..... shucks, there are editing and gramatical errors ... but I enjoyed writing it down, it helps too.

I didn't mention that there is considerable cleaning up to...

Treecycle pens aka Dallas has been PDG chatting advice and comments since I ditched my Triton gear and bought a super Hitachi Router to replace the Triton. That introduced the question of a new...

The table is coming along ... the top itself is nearly finished and ready to fit the fence once its made. The Hitachi I have arranged to fit directly onto the table plate ... figuring 4 screws is...

Buy the Kreg if nuy you must ... the Triton is a toy, I'm just selling mine and making my own ... cheaper and better freedom to make it "Just Right" :U

david

Absolutely fabulous Les .... I'm very jealous of your skills and patience ... way way above mine.

At present I am still plotting and planning my new table but it will be utilising a lifting lid...

Hi Treecycle .... I have the RTA 300 and the RSA 300 as per photos. Yes the underside of the Router plate has clamps which fit so they can clamp more or less any router but .... very fiddly to get...

Thanks for your post Les. It just seems to confirm any Triton Router of 10 years and over seemed to be ok but, from the last 7 odd years to date problems with the armature abound.

Good to hear...

Shedman, thanks for adding absolute clarity to the discussion....no argument there it seems. Question is if you have a repair done and it too crashes in the same manner does that come under "This...

Well here we are March 12th and the "new" Hitachi has arrived. I have finished up with a Hitachi M12V made in April 2003 and had about 8 hrs work then was put away in storage. This is like a new...

[QUOTE=Gerryattrick;1849687]...... I also benefit from having a brother who is an electronics engineer and servicing power tools is a doddle for him.
Hi Gerryattrick,

Well done regarding the...

Thanks Maggs ....it will now come in handy as I have, just this morning managed to buy a Hitachi M12V which although 8 years old has only been used once and it was within my budget and specification...

My Triton MOF001 which I bought appx 4 years ago has been disappointing and now sits in my shed, in its box having done 2 return trips to Auckland and is defunct.

Carbatec have been excellent. The...

I hear what you say about the advantages of the MOF001 routermaniac and can't disagree. However having researched the subject within this forums pages I have come to the conclusion that the early...

:U Now that looks super simple ... strong and effective. Thats the way I'll go. Have my eyes on a couple of TR 12's which look to be "low mileage". I'm much obliged for your trouble.

I'll keep...

maggs ... any chance of a couple of photos of your fitout? That would be extra wonderful. I also want to modify the locks holding the plate into the Triton table as I have not been too happy about...

Thanks Dinosour .... The Triton has returned in its box and that is where it will stay I guess, a very sad expensive saga. Total sum of about NZ$600 for lets say around 2 hrs plus a bit work... and...

Thank you everyone for your input over the second armature failure on my Triton MOF001. I have spent about 3 hours going through this website on the problem and have come to the conclusion that the...

Kuffy .... having slept on your answer it would seem then that they and others like it are made to burn out because they don't have an overload protection circuit. I have also delved into the Metabo...

Very interesting and food for thought Kuffy. So I wonder how many routers have suffered a similar fate to mine? :(

About 2 years ago I had a problem with my Triton Router, I am not a heavy user at all but all of a sudden 'she no switch on' .... the warranty ran out a couple of months earlier of course. However...

Having had the DeWALT 10" Sliding Compound Mitre Saw DW717-XE for some weeks now and exercised it a fair bit I cannot fault it. Very glad I chose this instead of the Makita as I reckon its just that...

Oh boy .... the DeWALT 10" sliding Compound Mitre saw arrived this afternoon ..... I AM IMPRESSED.

While I waited for them to bring it through from the delivery room .... like an expectant Dad...
