Thread: how to fit Makita 9 3/4" saw to MK3 Triton?

Serge,
Rather than getting hold of the instructions for the MK3 spend a few dollars and get the upgraded saw attachment gear (can't remember the name) and a saw stabiliser and height winder while you are at it.
I did this when I obtained a MK3 and with a little patience setting up have a repeatibly accurate table saw.

Thanks Bids, where can I get this upgrade saw attachment? do I have to contact TRITON in VIC?

look at tritons webpage under manuals and spares, you will find a full manual in pdf format for the mk3, about 4 files i think from memory. there will be info there too on the saw stabiliser and height winder kit

Thanks Doug, I got it and print it now

I used to have a Makita 9 1/4 saw with the Mk3 workcentre and it was a good combination. Mine didn't need the saw stabiliser but the upgraded saw carriage is required to fit the height winder kit.

Fitting a saw to the MK3 is a bit more complicated but you can get perfect ( mine was to an .05mm accuracy ). Do a search of this board for what to do if you have difficulties.


Goodluck with your workcentre, IMHO it is better than the WC 2K and do a search on how I modified and improved mine.
