    Default Triton Alternative??

    I am planning on making a new cofee table, with matching side tables, some storage cubes for my daughters room, and building a new computer desk, as well as finishing off renovations on our home. I had decided that a Triton work centre and Router table would be the most versatile, easiest and practical way for me to attempt these projects.
    At about the same time as I decided to do this, GMC went into receivership! I have been trying to buy stuff 2nd hand, and trying to talk Bunnings into selling display stock (for some reason they refuse) but alas, I am still tool-less.
    So, my question is, what are the alternatives to Triton? What have others found when they've started their first big(ish) job to be the most practical start?

    Blonk, just be a bit patient.
    Was in a Mitre 10 store a day or two ago and spotted a Triton wet grinder.
    I thought it was worth the question so I asked the bloke if he was prepared to talk prices but I was met with a flat refusal with him saying they couldn't do anything till the end of (I presume) January.

    I didn't ask, but I assume I could have paid full price and walked out with it, but I wasn't going to pay that much with the possibility of no warranty so I didn't pursue the matter. But I will go back around February 1st
