I spoke with the Triton parts department and sales on Monday.
The Router TRA001 - is planned to be released in the first week of December 2001.
Planned to retail around the $400 - $450 mark.
As usual its designed for the new Triton Router table - RTA300.
And can be fitted to the RTA200.
2400 watt motor with soft start.
Variable speed - 9k rpm to 21k rpm
Fast and accurate depth adjustment using the winder wheel.
Full range fine depth adjustment via micro winder.
(Fine adjustment all the way up and all the way down.)
You can plunge the chuck so it extends above the table for easy access.
And reqires only a single spanner to change cutters.
You can also remove the plunger spring for easier manual adjustment
while table mounted.
Incorporates circle cutting feature.
Not sure if it has pilots or not.
Not sure how quiet it might be.
Or how heavy.
The Triton Finger Jointer - FJA300 is planned to be release the first week of November.
Planned to retail around $150 - $200
Fits the Triton Router Table - RTA300
for strong and attractive timber joints.
(These are really box joints. Box joints are rectangular (squared off edges) and finger joints are rounded off.)
Makes 1/4" and 1/2" box hoints quickly, easily and accurately.
Intended to stack all 4 sides of box for single fit and single width pass thru router.
Based on the 'box joint - key' principle.
Two new sliding extention tables. Available now.
(Prices and availbility are from Bunnings Scornsby.)
Maxi - Sliding extension Table - ETA300 - $269
(Supersedes ETA200)
The metal running tubes are now 450mm longer.
The sliding table itself now has an extra 20mm marked on the rullers.
Its been modified to accomodate the American market of 4' x 8' panels.
No other chages have been made.
Mini - Sliding Extension Table - ETA100 - 1m x 1m - $209
The mini fits the workcentre, the compact table saw, and the latest router table.
Bunnings Scronsby - Stocked up on the original ETA200 when they found out it was superceeded - $188 - Supposed to be a very attractive price.
Its my plan to purchase the the running tubes for the Maxi (as spare parts) for around $65 for both Tubes.
And the rulers, if I decide I need the extra 20mm markings.
The table size and rulers size are the same as the superceeded ETA200.
And again if I decide to, I can purchase the running tubes for the Mini (as spare parts) for around $50.
Still no news on the Dust Mask. I've been waiting for over 2 years now.
