Fitting a Triton router to the Triton router table
Hi all,
Just a quick question to those who have a triton router and table. When mounting the router to the sub-assembly did you use the supplied clamps or screw straight into the base of the router? I notice that the screws that hold the plastic face on the bottom of the router line up with pre-drilled holes in the sub assembly, but the documentation does not indicate to do this. It just seems it would be a neater solution than the clamps.
Thanks in advance.

No, I used the clamps.

The 4 clamps supplied with the table are only for use with non-Triton routers. The Triton router attaches using the 2 locating knobs which go into the slots on the base. Turning the router anti-clockwise and tightening the knobs is all that's required to fit it correctly. This way, it can be released from the plate very easily for handheld use.
If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

The 4 clamps were originally required to fit the Triton router to the table plate . Around 2/3 years ago Triton did a modification and the plate described by Gumby should be the latest fitting approach.

Spot on. Just tried and and now I'm both impressed and convinced. This is what I expect of triton. Thanks for the help.
Memo to Triton - I couldn't find this anywhere in either the doco for the router table or the router. Maybe I missed it, but I don't think so.

Don't think you missed it- older docs, but the newer (Gumby mentioned) mod.
Few things worth mentioning.
1. I find it useful marking on the plate where the dust extraction point is- so the router is in the same position each time- makes it easy to find the on/off switch, speed dial etc when it is under the table.
2. You can cut the same holes into other items (such as the Router Mounting Plate (AJA150)) to make them quick release also
3. I found it useful buying a couple of spare plates from Triton (about $7 - 8 at the time), and attach these permanently to home-made jigs - makes them quick-release also!

If you dont have these clamps (4 off) how do you do any type of top routing ie. doing dadoes using the main 2000 work centre with the router clamped to the plate that runs along the 2000 work centre guides?woody U.K.

DPB is correct - the mod I was referring to is to the Router Mounting Plate for using the router to cut dados on the Workcentre. I find it very useful when producing mid-panel biscuits. (Which can be found in my article in the current House & Home magazine). I will put the article on our website in the near future."Clear, Ease Springs"

Stuart do you buy the sub plate(RTA419)?
Did you just drill holes in the AJA150 mounting plate to achieve the quick release?
Thanks

Yes and yes Used the subplate as a template to work out where the holes should be drilled.
