Alternatives to Triton Workcentre 2000?
I'd love to have a Triton Workcentre (2000 series) to use my circular saw as an alternative to a table saw while I save up for a proper machine. But they're no longer in production and the workcentres Triton makes now are designed for their power tools only.
Is there an alternative to the Triton Workcentre that I would be able to use? Or would I be better off making something myself?
And while I am thinking of it, are Triton Workcentres accurate? I can't help but think that they might not be especially accurate due to the light sheet metal construction (which would lead to vibrations and therefore inaccuracies).
This is basically a double post of sorts - I posted it in the wrong section originally as I misread woodturning for woodworking... That thread has been reported though!

I have been using the 2000 work cCentre for many years, Once setup it is a great product. It does take some work to ensure that it is setup properly. ( got mine when it was built here in Australia), and i have upgraded it over the years, to have it as correct as possible. which is really near to true.
I would myself suggest do get one it.

I moved on from a Triton to a Dewalt contractors saw - although they don't get much love here, for me, the Dewalt was a significant step up. I find it easier to setup and more accurate plus I can use dado blades - it also feels safer and has better dust extraction. Why I'd like a cabinet saw I just don't have the room - so the Dewalt was a good compromise.

I'm new here and just came across this thread. Captain Caveman if you are still looking for a Triton 2000, I may have one available soon.
I'm considering an upgrade to a Harvey Table Saw.
I'm at Hervey Bay in Qld.

I have had a Triton since 1983 and now regard it as superceded technology - good as a fill in until you get a real table saw! The Triton 2000 with bells and whistles is probably the best choice; the more extras then really the cheaper it will be. Should be plenty available.
Suggest that you be pro-active and advertise that you want to buy a Triton 2000 plus accessories:
- In MARKET PLACE sction of this forum,
- On Gumtree,
- On Trading Post for SA,
- Perhaps on Fleabay, but I am no longer convinced that it is worth the effort.

That's right Tonyz! And I agree the Trition (of all models!) are just a good as a fill in until you get a real table saw. But it's what I have the room for at the moment. The moment that changes, however...
