biscuit slot
hi there
this is my first attempt at this hello to every body
i have noticed what seems to be a lot of unhappy triton owners there complaints to me seem minor not so much faults but user related problems i purchased my triton gear watched the video read the assembly instructions and put it all together then spent a weekend cutting and adjusting till i got it right no problems apart from cleaning and minor re adjustments has worked perfectly for the last three years
i think the real problem is that today people expect to unpack a product assemble it and it will be perfect
i have never acquired anything in my life that i didnt have to learn how use by understanding it and adjusting my self to get the best from it
a good example my wife she came with no instructions cant locate the manufacture no spare parts no back up service so i had to learn myself
the triton came with all of the above what a great deal
so instead of selling the triton learn how to use it
sorry my question i am about to purchase a triton biscuit joiner can anybody tell me the length and depth of the grove the cutter makes i am trying to work out the minium size timber that can be joined
hope i havent up set anybody i love my triton

Welcome Aboard, I am pleased to see another local here..
From memory the biscuits used are about 30mm in width, so that would make the slots around 15mm deep.
I would venture to suggest that any timber narrower than this would be held securely by glue only , or maybe a couple of brads..

The cutter on the joiner is 50mm in diameter so it cuts a slot 50mm wide and about 15mm deep. The triton biscuits are 40mm x 13mm.
I hope you rewad the instruction manual on your keyboard though, it has a shift key to do caps with !

Loved the comment about the wife. You say you can't locate the manufacturer?

Don't go there, even though I agree with you completely and had a good giggle when I read that.
My experiences as a S.N. have taught me one thing, Nobody likes a Smart Ars3.
Even when it's really funny, they still will want to send you to the corner. Probably just jealous they didn't think of it first.Cheers

I think there is something about how thin a bit of wood can be biscuited in the videos. Its pretty tiny. And you can adjust how deep it cuts, so you can used regular No. '0' biscuits as well as the Triton ones for very thin wood.
2 important things with the Triton unit (I've got the 'old' model) - make sure the bit is very secure in the router - VERY SECURE! It seems to have an uncanny ability to shift up in use, so keep an eye on it.
And related to this - check the clear-ish soft plastic safety covers are correctly adjusted, or you will be buying them in bulk from Triton, as they don't hold up well to being routed with the biscuit cutter :eek:

Triton suggest 12 mm min thickness. I have joined jarrah offcuts sub 12 mm ok.
I tried to be normal once.
Worst 2 minutes of my life.
