I must admit that I liked the Triton whilst I had it, it's only short comings in my view was the capacity to handle heavy work.
I moved on to the Ryobi BT3000 (a MISTAKE) because it also had it's limitations with heavy work, but it had some convenient features without add -ons that was the buying decision at that time but eventually fell short of where I wanted to be with my gear.
It was at this point in time I realised woodworking was going to take up a fair bit of my time so the decision on real serious gear and in discussion with the war office it then became paramount that I upgrade once and once only hence I had an opportunity to pick up a second- hand and in good nick combination workbench, a 7 function Lab 30 SCMS Italian manufactured that obviously will see me out and will stand the test of time with it's robustness the only shortcoming with this facility is the changing between functions moreover if you have to go back and rip/plane etc to a previous dimension.
But all in all, horses for courses I guess especially where room dictates necessity.

Cheers

Nice clock Allan and just goes to prove it is the person using the equipment that counts.

Agree. I am sure Allan could have done it with a hand saw but it would have been a lot harder.
