Thread: Bevel Cutting Jig for a Triton Workcentre

There is a plan for a fixed angle jig (45 degrees) in the Triton jig manual. Can send a copy if you are interested.

There is a Triton Jig manual? Yeah, I'd be interested to take a look.

Some trivia for you.Just found out yesterday that Triton use to make a Bevel Guide for MK3 New Series.One was listed on EBay BRA001 never been used still in the box,said they'd had it for 15 years(local pick up only).Sold for a buy now price of $30.The upgrade to a 2000 series you mentioned might be worth considering.Price of $250 sounds reasonable,be wary of missing pieces and damaged parts it can become costly and time consuming as you have stated with your MK3 top.

Yeah I think when I do upgrade to the WC2000, I will go new, or atleast REALLY good condition second hand. I'd really prefer to get a proper tablesaw, but I just don't have room in my shop for specialised machinery.

My primary concern with the WC2000 is it's lack of traditional tablesaw slideybits for jigs and whatnot. I was going to make a custom tablesaw top for my MK3 with those rail bits included, but then I realised the tops of the side pieces will get in the way of it anyway.

I have just googled 'Triton woodworking jig manual" and found "Triton Jig Guide".

It contains 7 jigs and looks as though they were designed for the Mk3 although they could easily be adapted.

Found it! Good stuff. Not 100% sure about the Triton Bevel Jig though. Lining it up with the saw seems like it could be quite fiddly.

EDIT: Just realised the bevel ripping jig in this is different to the other one. Once I decode the plans, it might be a lot better, as it uses an aluminium angle as the stop/fence thingo.

If you have the standard 2000 work fence, then you just reverse it and use the 45 degree angled face for making french cleats, which is exactly what I have done to make my own french cleats

I have the bevel attachment, but for quick stuff, the standard fence is brilliant.

If you check that link out, which I found with a quick google search, you'll see how it's done.

The bevel is alright, but I have to carefully check the actual angle I require very carefully; mine is about 1.5 degrees out from the scale.

Thanks for that Mick.
I had forgotten that use of the fence although I have not had to cut any bevels for quite some time.
